The very idea! I have noticed that people do seem to think they can say or do just about anything, and no one should be upset.

As I was reading about how we all create our own reality and essentially decide how to react, I was asking myself if Jews (and others) in death camps created their reality! Are they supposed to just "let the bygones go" under the guise of letting go of the ego? While I think these theories have some value in terms of simple getting along with others (ie chose your battles), I think it is ridiculous to give other people's actions a free pass. I could not agree with you more.Teacher Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441317501525389969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474701136538889471.post-91079415740337153022009-02-16T13:49:00.000-06:002009-02-16T13:49:00.000-06:00I think I'll try that response.
