Sorry to shatter illusions Spideygiri



I’m not sure what illusions you are referring to. When I threw in my two cents about taking the higher ground, again and again, it wasn’t because I thought it would elicit a particular response from the other side.

We are supposed to try to do good and be good not because of how it will change someone else’s behavior or a particular situation. We are supposed to do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.

I agree completely that we should not take abuse from other people. I also know that it is perfectly possible to meet that goal, while at the same time committing to kindness and compassion (even if the other people do not deserve it).
