Hmmm... I'm not sure if this is sincere or sarcastic... a true "welcome" to me, or a "warning" to others , but I did read your last apology/words the last time I was here... few weeks ago? Can't remember. Right now, I can't even remember my "name" then! I'm sure others can, but right now I'm blank. Anyways, I assume at least you know that was me. I'm pretty sure of it. I think it's pretty obvious and even though there've been a few who think they're "all that" when they "expose" me, it's not like I was trying to hide to begin with. (I just have to post under other names 'cause my others are/were banned. )

Well, I won't be here long. I am on the Cristus Victor (think that's the name of this site) Most Wanted list! And I really don't enjoy being angry all the time so it's best I avoid coming here. Plus, there's only so many names I can think of and it's kinda tiring being on the "run." Plus, there's only so much to say, so even if I did "shape up" and "play nice," what would there be to talk about?

Curiosity got the best of me the other night, I came and read, I posted and got banned. Same ol', same ol'.

But anyways, I did read your last apology and at the time my name was banned and I didn't feel like coming here and/or posting under a new name. But now that I'm here, if this doesn't get deleted that is, I did appreciate what you wrote and was pretty surprised and wonder if you have really kept to the things you said. This post seems like it (unless it's sarcastic of course). It was a pretty humble and gracious post. I think at the time, it even brought tears to my eyes. Yes, I'm actually human and not always the "evil" person that certain people seem to think I am here.

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Maybe I'm taking moon_river completely wrong -- bet I am. But the discomfort we feel when someone is hurting MIGHT be empathy and caring for them. But it might also be in small part (or larger) our own discomfort.
