New friends? I'm a new user....overwhelmed!
Ok, I am a new user as of 15 minutes ago and I plowed through the "getting to know you" fill out form, with DaVinci avatar, et all.....I'd really love to talk to some like-minded or totally unlike/dissimilar minded individuals out there....or neutral Swiss parties are good, too.
Basically, I'm just looking for some spirited conversation. My friends are depressed, my husband and I have not too terribly much to say to each other-not because we don't get along, just because we are extremely comfortable with each other- although my INTENSITY towards certain mundane or life-threatening topics and the raising of my voice (not angrily) just gets his anxious!
Eh, blame it (cliche and all) on my Irish blood. Thats what we always say, huh? SO...point is....anyone want to talk about something? Politics gets a little tedious to me after about 2 minutes- I am interested and I vote and I pay attention- it's just not my favorite thing to discuss.
Aside from that, let 'er rip. I can handle it. I think. -D.-

Hi darcylavigne,
Welcome to DS. I like your sense of humor, must be your Irish trace,

You will see that there are many interesting topics in DS throughout many forums. We shall meet in one of them, or in one you will open, sharing what we have to say.

Hi darcylavigne, welcome to DS!
This will be a voyage of discovery for you, there is a wealth of varied interest on this site that is bound to hold you enthralled ...and when you participate we all benefit too.
Now...ur Irish blood. As i suffer, beg pardon, benefit from the one hundred percent variety that you claim to have some of...i should perhaps take time to acquaint you of the responsibilities you must inevitably carry.
Your husband is a good man im sure. But hes not Irish, and that is a great loss, to you. You cannot really be expected to engage fully with such a person, there will be times when silence descends and if you listen closely you will hear in your heart a plaintive cry from the homeland. It may demand that dollars are sent back to the Emerald Isle, or indeed that there is a U2 concert about to take place somewhere locally. Either or both of these impulses cannot and should not be ingored. It coulld also mean that its raining again at home, but this wlll be a more frequent and rather louder impulse from the heart, which needs to be ignored if you are to function normally. We do. Most of the time.
Anyway i fear for you greatly, on one level you are blessed, on another level it would seem a much diluted blessing is yours to carry. If there is any way (there isnt) that i can help/lighten your load then please ask (obviously in the mother tongue...if you are to be heard), i will get around to dealing with your sad story when it stops raining.

Hi Mary,
Welcome to DS! Dermot have already given you a nice recommendation.
As about your question and your doubts, I think that we basically can only work on our-self and by changing us we can contribute to further changes. When talking about harming others, if I become aware that I did something of that kind, I try to figure out why I had such action/ reaction so that something of that kind would never repeat. The same when somebody else does something of the kind that belongs to this category, I try to use such experience for the benefits of personal growing changing my pure observation or critical standpoint into the active and analytical that helps me to understand why it happens to me.

Re: New friends? I'm a new user....overwhelmed!
Good answer Mirjana, i think we do harm when we forget who and what we are. If we remember that we are essentially Love, then we cannot do harm. If we forget then almost anything is possible because we act from a place without our essential energy guiding us.
So, nothing actually forces us....we have the choice to remain connected all the time, the more we practice that..the more we stay in connection and darker forces cannot take us over.

.we are both devil and angel , mary.
.although , more correctly expressed as negative and positive polarisations of the One.
Choose your playground.
Remember , that another self has the freedom to choose also , as you do.
Right and Wrong is a figment of an overactive imagination supported by poor critical thinking.
As we give , we receive.
Game on.
