Steve, naturally I agree with you. This message to Share just *drips* with hatred and malevolence, not to mention the delusional belief that Judy "knows" what people karmically "deserve." Trying hard to be compassionate myself, I should point out something about Judy that makes her a victim of her own impulses. It is a trait that she exemplifies here on FFL the most, but it is also a trait shared by Ann, by Robin, by Jim, and others. They believe that words are more important than actions. In particular, they believe that what *they* say -- about their motivations, about themselves, about the images of themselves they wish to push out, about others, about *anything* -- are more important than their actions, and the INTENT those actions reveal. Judy *believes* Robin because she believes what he *says* about himself. She believes in his words so strongly that this belief renders her incapable of perceiving his actions, which are often in complete opposition to what his words claim. Naturally, she does the same thing about herself, *saying* things about her supposed motivations (to "protect people who have been wronged," etc.) that are *said* to mask the fact that (IMO) she is just dumping on another of her targets because she's an old, bitter woman who at this point in her life can do nothing else. Although I am the first to point out that the Fred Lenz - Rama guy I studied with was more than a little bonkers in many ways, he also taught me some things that I still consider valuable. One of them was, "Listen to what people say, but watch what they DO." That has been one of my guidelines ever since. I really *don't* ever believe thoroughly in what people *say* about themselves and their beliefs and their motivations. I watch what they DO. Their actions reveal the "real" them. The words are just words. Given the example below, Judy's words are nasty and could not reek more of superiority and arrogance and hatred if she had tried to capture those things consciously. Whatever she may try to say *about* what she said, the fact remains that she said it. THAT was an action. And that action speaks volumes. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <authfriend@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long <sharelong60@> wrote: > > > > > > Thanks so much for your nurturing words feste.
