Yes Bruce ,
By george I think you've got it!Mine was as much of a non stinging way
to tell you how I,and others are feeling about what is going on ,hence
you obviously are too self involved still to try to be honest with
yourself, compassionate for others feelings or understanding that the
real truth is, that you arent seeing that most of the students seem to
NOT BE INTERESTED IN STUDYING YOUR PERSONALITY!Sorry I know that stung
just a little but it is because you tend to force people to be that way
with you,asking for it if you will! The way you interact with all the
other people here is what causes people to sometimes have to be honest
about expressing themselves,which is very hard to do without it hurting
a little,like I have tried to do!But of course I am setting myself up
for a rash of stingers from you which,of course we are all expecting
from your past posts!Does the phrase "You can dish it out but you can't
take it"ring close to home for you!Think about it!Perhaps some self
reflection instead of lashing out at yet another student trying to
communicate their feelings to you would be something you would consider
before the next attack!We would not be having to study about this
all again if it wasn't going on at all!There is no abscence of love, I
try to communicate with love as much as is possible but sometimes love
and honesty do not reflect what YOU(Bruce) wanted to hear!That was our
topic of study long ago and we have all spent many months trying to
learn how to do it, although every word we all say isn't always perfect!
Thats life I guess!
Good Luck with your self study!
I know it is a long road to understanding for all of us!
