[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 321574"] I think its true that we can more easily take in information, especially information that is different than what we are use to hearing, when it comes from a gentle and empathetic source. Perhaps this goes double when we are hurting or under tremendous stress. Perhaps this goes both ways. So, when we give advice we might want to give it gently. And when we don't give it gently and hear that we have missed the mark in that regard, we should be willing to take in this different information. IF our goal is to help one another and helping one another goes further by being kind and gentle, even if it is hard, we need to make great efforts to assume these traits. And likewise, if a person is taking the time to write out and answer and is also making their best effort to be kind and gentle, then we might want to listen to what they have to say and give it some consideration.
