but the toll this has taken on his family is unbelievable.

After quite a bit of reflection, I have come to having a problem with the one that says he forcefully made her give him head. As a man, one bit of teeth ruins the entire experience for me, so I’ve been trying to understand how she never got her teeth involved (not necessarily biting, but just dragging.) My only…

Sounds like someone needs the genital cuff.

Thaaaaank you.

Toxic people rarely even consider that they’re the toxic one, my friend. That you have the willingness to consider you might be a part of the problem gives you a leg up on most human beings. If you go within and explore our relationship with this universe and its Creator, you can steel yourself against your own inner…

We each have the voice of negativity within us; many people give voice to that negativity and use it to abuse others. Resolve to love all those around you as best you can and your conscience will be clear. Connect within to the Creator of all that exists and you can learn how to defeat that inner voice of negativity.

Why waste time with an ignorant fool? We are all constantly changing; few people change for the better over their lifetimes.

Once you connect with the goodness inside of yourself, the shallow manipulations of others become clearer and clearer by the day. Relationships are like food and water: you must remove all toxic elements from them.

Toxic people who refuse to respond to the truth must be made to realize their negativity by losing contact. They may not learn, but they are responsible for their attitudes and behaviors, not you, and you have no responsibility to entertain their foolishness.

The most important part of being a friend is being there for the other person.

No one is stasis so over 20 years a person’s changes may move them…

Alcohol is a pox upon humanity, my friend. Peace be with you.

A selfish part of me wanted to reach out and apologize but that would just be for closure on my own part. It puts the onus on him to be the bigger person and accept my apology and relieve me of my guilt.

Sometimes it takes 20 years for you to realize that they’ve become shitty (or were shitty the entire time). Be thankful it didn’t take 30!

Yeah, my brother had a childhood friend for years and years until he realized that the friend only called when he needed help (my brother’s a professional mechanic so the guy would come up with a pretense to get together and then be like, “hey, would you mind taking a look at my lawnmower”).

I find it odd that people give other people commands over the internet. I guess it’s easier than admitting someone else understands something that one doesn’t care to explore.

Well, at least this got an article at TheRoot.

And here is my 2nd and final reply (that is now automatically gray):

Thank you for your help with the truth, both your own and that of this forum, and for helping the truth of this Sufi Message of Love and Unity see the light of day in these terrible times.
