[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 663695, member: 17461"] Clearly, a choice to love. Contrast that with what was returned to you. Contrast that with how your sister never, ever, stops trying to destroy you. You are the more fortunate one. Just think, SWOT. [I]The ones who hated might as easily have been us.[/I] Copa, the same is true for you. Given the way we were each brought up, we may as easily have chosen to hate. We did not. As we complete this quest we set for ourselves, we will remember gratitude for this incredible ability to see and choose love. It must be a gift, or every one would choose it. Hating and resentment and sullen rage are terrible things; are a terrible waste of a life. Cedar When we set out, we determined eventually to arrive at compassion for our FOO. Perhaps this is it. The thing we understand that will bring us to our knees in gratitude and that will enable us to stand for ourselves and for them, in compassion. Not pity, and not hatred, but compassion. It could so easily have been us. [/QUOTE]
