click for detail. A well-intended person on FB to me based on recent posts: "When you get bitter you start to sound like them. George Bush said "if your not for us then your against us. Not so, it was only a question, if you wish to un friend me then so be it, You may need friends some time." My reply: "To YOU (and maybe to most) I sound 'bitter.' To YOU (and maybe to near all) I sound 'like them.' I'm ok with that from you, from the masses, David. Also, Friendship can't be won or lost. Friendship, the real thing, which is the ONLY Friendship I recognize or value, is unconditional. And I want ZERO Friendship for me. I only want it for the global neediest, and like the masses of westerners, in your Head David I think you see them, but not in the All Important Heart, based on the day to day activity I see from you. Just bein honest, and of course I could be wrong. Solidarity, complete lived solidarity is what you get when the Heart is involved, and I don't see that in your day to day activity, nor in hardly anyone, which is why everything is going to hell; and why I'm viewed by most in the way you say. No credit to me I AM in Solidarity with the neediest and that is totally incomprehensible to nearly 100% of those that consider themselves activists." Oh, and regarding Bitter? OUTRAGED!!!! HORRIFIED!!!! FURIOUS!!!! 500 OF MY CHILDREN 1500 OF MY FAMILY... WERE SHREADED WITH US ANTI-PERSONEL BOMBS WITHIN THE LAST 3 MONTHS FOR BEING PALESTINIAN!!!!!!!!!! I DON'T HAVE F'ING TIME TO BE BITTER!!!!!! I HATE WHAT IS BEING DONE WITH EVERY ATOM IN MY BODY!!!!!! I'LL FIGHT IT UNVIOLENTLY, OUT OF LOVE, WITH MY LAST BREATH. Heart

KG:  Now how can one not be bitter at times? How can one not be angry?
We all see the injustice in the world , the pain endured by our human family and the rape of our Mother Earth!
That 'bitter' feeling, that fire in your belly is what drives activism and promotes change!
Hell yes the emotion has purpose and everyone should feel it from time to time! To be driven by it !
As far as sounding like 'them' ... Take a step back on this.... We are all in the same boat it that us and them crap that draws lines . Lines between a front that should be united. The human family front!
Maybe you judge James because you don't fully understand him and the war we wages , the vigilant man of love and peace.
He calls a spade a spade and fights for truth.... Raising awareness ! Facebook is a but one tool used to reach out to educate.
Judge him only if you are willing to do as he , sleep in his bed, walk in his shoes and feel as he feels..... Other then that.... Easy to be a onlooker harder to actually do the job.
James is there because all of us need h

ME: Heart. The person who commented to me was well intended, and of course, could be correct, tho I think not. It surely was NOT a personal attack, it was sent out of concern. I respect and value that.

KG:  I just think in those moments... Concern for you and your actions ... One should step back and take in the whole picture ....
Maybe not just seeing a man sounding bitter but what that man actually does and why. The understanding if that ... Well , it kinda changes everything !

ME: Bitter? OUTRAGED!!!! HORRIFIED!!!! FURIOUS!!!! 500 OF MY CHILDREN 1500 OF MY FAMILY... WERE SHREADED WITH US ANTI-PERSONEL BOMBS WITHIN THE LAST 3 MONTHS FOR BEING PALESTINIAN!!!!!!!!!! I DON'T HAVE F'ING TIME TO BE BITTER!!!!!! I HATE WHAT IS BEING DONE WITH EVERY ATOM IN MY BODY!!!!!! I'LL FIGHT IT UNVIOLENTLY, OUT OF LOVE, WITH MY LAST BREATH. Heart.

KG:  Now that's what I'm talking about!!!!! We all should feel this way! We all need to feel this way and maybe if more did this evil would change!

ME:  I think so tooo. As I say often, 'I am NOTHING! Living with the Soul/Heart, not Head and Flesh, in charge... now THAT is SOMETHING!' Everything, really.  Heart.
