Hi everybody. Rereading my post i sure did use the word understanding a LOT!
lol :-) I seem to use it in a lot of different ways that i fail to define.
Mostly what i am trying to say is that by trying to get to know one better
maybe we will find a way to help. Of course, they may not want or need help.
I really dont understand much. Usually when i think i "get it" i am overdue
for a shakeup. Actually i appreciate everyone being critical of my reaction.
Although it is a more positive type of reaction to defend a fellow human, it
is still a reaction. Reactions are great teachers and I have learned and am
learning a lot just from this communication. Thanks!
