[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 665273, member: 17461"] To see us taken down. To see whether we are real. To shame us to please something in themselves. To elevate themselves at our expense. The "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune". Hurt as we were as children, we are vulnerable [I]to our own thinking[/I] when a predator takes us on. D H: Stop it. Be your own man, Cedar. Trust your own self, Cedar. You are not an eight year old little girl, anymore. You do not get a pass. The world is as it is. Everyone has to stand up. Right or wrong, everyone has to stand up. I like to think of what I might have said in response to things that are wrong. It is rare (make that never) that I think those perfect responses in time to say them to the leaping predator. Here is one: "What do you mean?" Easy to remember. Applicable in any situation where clarity is required. Like, when we have been attacked and betrayed by a predatory someone who is just doing what predators do. Had you not been so very good at what you do professionally Copa, you would not have been attacked. How does that saying go, something about the quality of our enemies being indicative of our strengths? Does anyone need to know where I learned that? About responding with "What do you mean?" :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
