With all due repect to you in that you perceive your point of view to be
correct, I have held up many a mirror in my time, and this is not how people
learn or how transformation occurs.

Holding a mirror up to someone is an idealistic concept. In reality, if the
person wants to, he will see himself, when and if he is ready. If he is not
ready, you will build up further resistance.

This is simplistic and an inappropriate correlation. I am simply responding
with words to messages people have left and giving my honest opinion. I
think this will all turn out for the good. This list will hopefully be
better. Sorry if I have hurt your feelings. You have not hurt mine, but you
are a pest. That is a gift. Your pesthood is a precious opportunity for me
to develop. If my feelings are hurt, that is called negative emotion. You
are responsible for yours, and I am responsible for mine.

This is silly, as I have explained the other meaning of discrimination, but
I hear where you are coming from. This word does have two meanings, but I
assumed that people on here knew which I was using.

How do you mean this? I genuinely do not understand what youy are saying.

No. I am doing something a lot bigger. Sorry if I have offended you in any
way. Wry
