same service as him! You know, I met some really noble people when I served and I can see your father was one of those truly noble men.



I think you are so right about how it's hard for us to understand where others are coming from until we are able to hear them. And that's hard sometimes because a lot of times people (including myself) don't communicate effectively.

I don't feel I did the wrong thing by exposing the bullying PM from "The Doctor." but I feel bad for him just the same. I feel bad for him because I think he is really hurting inside to have lashed out that way, and maybe he could have gotten some healing here but he was communicating by lashing out and people don't respond well to that, so the message doesn't get through. I think the message under all that lashing out was "I'm hurting, please help" but that got buried in the anger and couldn't be heard.

If things are going to get any better, we truly have to hear one another and communicate effectively and then respect one another as fellow human beings. We have to see each other as friends and not enemies.
