Stop and Wonder

[SilentEyz]

Stop and Think..

Better Yet Stop and Wonder...

Thats What I have been doing lately..Wondering...

Its funny to See how people react to things, how thye let things crawl under thier skin, And once its settled in, they take it everywhere with them.

they forget to stop and look, stop and Wonder, and sometimes Just Stop.

I am referring to all the Bickering and Biting going on here lately.. If I am out of line by this Post.. Then By all means, feel free to say so, And If need be, Then V can Or someone can Remove it.

Everyone has posted thier Thoughts.. And now I am going to.

So there are threads and Posts being made that people just can't agree with, they find them Rude and insulting..

I agree that some of them Are.. and some of them are not, TO some they may come across that way, but, I also Firmly believe that if your First feelings for that poster are put aside, you could see that they are not always intended to be read or made that way.

We can not always Agree with someones Views or Ideas. We can not understand a persons thoughts process. And we cannot Change the parts of their Lives that have brought that particular person to feel and/ or think the way they Do.

We can Voice our thoughts, Our Views, and Our Ideas.. We Can Justify Why We dont Agree with anothers thoughts..

And doing all those things is only Valuable if it is done with self justification rather then with Accusations.

No one likes to be told they are wrong, or they are stupid or bad, just because they think and feel diffrently then we do.

Think about your own life, your own experiances, yourself at any age .. Were you always Right in your Thinking.. Was your view of the World always agreeable with those around you.

Debating Is great.. Arguing is pointless,

And its just my Thoughts.. but If you truly have a problem with another Poster, and you dont feel as though you cn participate in a discussion with them without letting your emotions bring out the worst.. Then Why waste the time.. Why Read and Post and become Upset over what someone you will never probably meet Upset you.

Move on and Find something Good to go with.

Debate.. But there is no need to make it personnel.. Justify yourself, and your views.. But Why force and Expect others to see things the same as yourself .. That truly would make Life boring.

I am just as guilty for letting my personnel feelings take over my rational thought, But For the most part, I try to Not reply when I have to much disagreement with Someone.. And If I feel the Need to Reply, I try to not make it personnel.. Sometimes it works.. and Sometimes it does not.. We are only human.

I am just asking Us all to Stop and Wonder.. Do really know why and If not.. then Maybe we should think before reacting.

I hope I dont offend anyone with this.. Just something I thought needed to be Said.. and As I stated.. It is just my thoughts...

right on silent...

and even still if you actually take a step back...and try to talk to the person you are disagreeing with..the person you are so ready to hate...if you stop...try to talk to them without that feeling...you may just find out they arent as bad as you think...stop judging...and try to listen

I agree with what you wrote, Silent.

To add: That's why, at least in this forum, I try to stay out of disagreements and differences of opinions because some people on this forum seem to blow their tops whenever someone posts something that they don't agree with, whether it be politics, war, race, etc. Then the "discussions" start turning into personal attacks way too fast....

There's nothing wrong with a good debate or disagreeing with people. I know maybe I sound like a hypocrite because I've let my feelings get the better of me a couple of times but I think if its quite obvious that you are offending someone you should either appologise or if you can't manage that then stop posting in the thread. You know the old saying, "there's no smoke without a fire"

I agree silent. Walk in the other persons shoes.*taps the side of his head*

Shove it up your ar...

Whoa just kidding. I reckon a lively debate is a good thing but there have been some comments that have gone too far.

On the other hand not everything that is posted is meant, necessarily, in the way that it was posted. I am extremely sarcastic in real life, but due to delivery & demeanour it is very easy to read - this does not come across on the net at all & I have had to alter the way that I say (write) some things or appear extremely rude.

So if you read something you don't like, consider that it may be you are misunderstanding it's real intention, or if it's posted by an idiot, then ignore it - I do.
