Reply #50: I just have to end this

[texastoast]

I'm just not doing well communicating that you and I simply cannot judge the validity of another's perspective, in my view, anymore than you and I can judge how a "victim" feels or relates to any event or circumstance. I can judge it for myself, but not for someone else.

I love metaphors, but I can see that some just can't seem to get the way I use them. I will keep practicing.

All I know for me is that those who blame God and apply value judgments for the way things go walk a different path than I walk.

I've had my share of "legitimate" devastation and this is what I have come to know--for me. I think you would agree that I have a "right" to blame God, but I choose not to. Things can always be "worse." Blame is just a waste of energy, time and health in lots of cases. Compassion, on the other hand, is most helpful fo all those involved.

Maybe it's time to go to Paris to look for answers to questions that bother me so. ;)

Peace and cheers.
