  Good morning Ponsel. I agree completely with what you say. I like myself alot better when I deal with someone with compassion instead of anger. It is indeed hard to always feel compassion when someone hurts you, but I strive to find it along with forgiveness in the end because that is the only way I find peace. Excellent blog.

  Thank you so much,Peapod.The key word is forgiveness.Desisting from prejudice goes with it.Bias is a character disease.David Augsburger,in his book " The Freedom Of Forgiveness " even calls it a contagious disease.Since my write up is too short I want to enrich it by subsequent Blog Posts.One sage put it, "...(only)small minds discuss people "[parentheses mine].It's really very kind of you to have encouraged me and others as well.Regards.

  i'm finding it difficult to strike a balance between counseling (rebuke) and forgiving.
