As of recently there has been a great deal of negative energy about this board. One who seeks a higher state of understanding must endeavour to keep hate and anger out of their mind. We all know that when we become angry we close off our minds. We call this stubborness. Nor is it worthwhile to instill anger or hatred in others. Neither of these methods serve any beneficial means. I would ask people here to walk the walk and show a little understanding and compassion. Be more gentle in your statements and ask yourself why the other person is putting forth their point of view. It is completely alright to disagree with another but doing so in a harsh or rude manner yields no benefit where a more subtle approach will be far more well received.

The fact of the matter is when one argues and becomes harsh in his words he is doing so as more of a projection of their ego than to get their point across. If you truly are on the path twoards growth my friends it is important to embody that which you seek. By doing so you will shift your mentality twoards that goal. If you live a life of hate and violence then your thought processes will follow that route. If you live with peace and understanding you will find that you will begin to embody that mentality.
Learning the art of communication is essential in conveying understanding and wisdom to others this is doubly so when we are discussing things that transend what can be conveyed in spoken words.
