Default Re: As brothers fight ye!

Thank you all for your kind and supportive words.

I don't know if I am here to save the day but if anything I do say helps then I'll be content with that.

As for buttons, I know I have a few but they are well shielded with safety caps and a key lock to boot. Years of having them pushed when I was younger helped install some defenses against me going 'bang' too often. (so far they seem to work quite well but you never know for sure)

@mudra
Thank you... I hope I live up to your kindness.

I have always lived with an ability to see both sides of an argument (many friends of mine attribute this to me being Libran). Being in this position has led to me being a shoulder to cry on for many people and I have never knowingly rejected this. The only trouble it has caused was when I was one of the arguers. Because I can see my opponents point of view perfectly clearly, I couldn't argue my side well enough to gain any true compromise.

Still, I am now able to avoid arguments much more frequently and thus my life is more peaceful than it used to be. So in the long run even my own peace of mind has benefited from this ability. Seeing the point of view of another helps you preempt their responses and defuse a potentially antagonistic confrontation.

I know there are only a minority of members involved in the conflagration here and so I think my hope for a brighter future is well founded. Lets all pray the wounds that have been caused are healed painlessly and quickly.

Thank you one and all once again.

Peace
