Dear Sesbastian, Some people are hurt by milk. Does this mean we should do away with milk? The real world is a difficult place. I do not buy your idea that we need to pretend to be something we are not in order to say anything. I hurt no one on purpose. I never said anyone had no right to be hurt. I just do not stop serving milk because someone may not like it. Saying "Do what your heart" tells you is quite different from telling someone to wake up. It is recommending a particular action in the real world. It is quite different than saying what someone just dumped on the list is BS. Pretty much the only real world action I ever recommend is that someone find a real teacher in their real world to help them with real world problems. I do feel this is a compassionate thing to do. I do disagree with your definition of compassion. I do not have to buy your defintion, nor do I have to agree to be bound by your judgements about my actions based on what I consider to be a poor defintion of compassion. I do not try and make more out of this list than it is. Be Well Fudo ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> $9.95 domain names from Yahoo!.
