My heart is heavy in light of the recent tragedy that has struck our nation. So I come to the Cat Site to lighten my heart. Surely a group of people who love cats, having that warm and wonderful connection with each other will be uplifting to one another. But bickering, accusations, and presumptions run through some of the threads, and again....my heart is heavy.
I have avoided posting anything controvercial for fear of having my heart trampled on like many other hearts have been trampled on. Today I speak out...because I have to. I don`t mean to point the finger at any one person...or group of persons. I don`t mean to trample on any hearts as I speak my piece, I only want to ask you....no, beg you to all stop. Lets all just accept each other as we are. We are all just names on a screen. Some friends, some lovers,some family, some just aquaintances...but all names on a screen. Each name on the screen represents a very special person...multifacited like a diamond, and just as unique. Each person has their own way of thinking and expressing themselves. When I look at my moniter I see the words these people type. I don`t see their facial expressions,body language, or hear their inflections of speech, which can very easily change the whole meaning of a statement. I don`t KNOW the person. I don`t know their sense of humor...when they`te being synical, joking or are dead serious. I do know that people are having their feelings hurt and responding out of their hurt and anger...and so on....and so on...and so on... Please, can we try to stop the cycle?
