Can we be like them?
« on: January 06, 2008, 09:13:51 PM »
CNN is re transmiting the debate dem vs rep.

Do you think that Obama likes McCane? I dont think so. Or Romney, Hillary? I dont think so. Etc.
But they are so polite to each other?

Why cant we be like that?

Are we rude?  Sometimes.  Are they rude?  Sometimes.  I agree I have been a bit snippy lately and for that I am sorry.  But at the same time this whole thing called life can get a bit tedious.  Redundant. Samo samo.   Oh well-live and let live.

this was intended Lea, why did you erase your post here? Why do we regret we said something?
If it was said, why regret?

Not saying bad or good, just why, there must be a why.

Lupita,

Don't you think those candidates have to at least pretend to get along, at least until they make it through the primaries?

If they're faking it, why would we want to be like that?

Dear Lupita,

I delete my post on this thread as i was unsure, as I don't do politics, and I don't live in the US.  In any case, I only posted 'we could be' in any case.

Again, was unsure as to whether it was political or not, same as Besee, evidently.

Love, Leah

Lupita,

Why have you copied over from your other thread and deleted most of the pertinent words in context, onto this thread?

With a mish mash and a comment thrown in to Besee?

I have taken more time and effort to post again, as per previous reply.

Really, this is so time consuming.

Why to fake it? CH?

Why cant we like each other even if we disagree?

I do not agree for a woman to stay home. Still I do not dislike a woman who stays home. Just to give an analogy. Why do we dislike people who disagree wiht us?
And many people will say, "I dont"
But the amount of conflicts we have observed lately proves that we do.

I wish I could like astudent who misbehaves as much as the one who does everything he os supposed to.

David Burns advised hes sister teacher when asked about a very difficult student. He said to her, love him. Then she said how can I, they he said, force your self to love him.

I do not how. I cant even force my self to love my self.

CH, I am not making any sense. I was so mad that I had to take my anxiety med. So, whatever I say now it is not my responsibility. LOL

lol (((((((Lupita)))))))) I think you're contagious, but I like you.

Let's try this again another time... but I do hear and understand you. I don't want to dislike anyone either, and for the most part, I don't... at least not like I used to. It gets easier with practice, I know that... as you stop feeling threatened by people because you know that you can hold your own no matter what.

Love to you,
Carolyn

How come a substance can make a difference in how we react?

The centers of pleasure in the brain. Is it just chemicla?

Then, how are we so screwed up in our minds?

I can feel wonderful after meds.

We need to talk about that some time.

I cant even force my self to love my self.

That's because love isn't force, Lup.

It's very very gentle.
Tender.
Relaxed.
Breathing.
Kind.
Compassion.

You could try a warm light breath of compassion,
just a little one, just for 30 seconds by the clock.

Try holding the little girl inside you that way.

Not clutching her.

Holding her gently and tenderly without anguish.
Breathing compassion onto her.

For 30 seconds.

Every day.

love,
Hops
