IMP I adore you, you are like a terrier with a bone!!

I used to believe what you say - and the person walking off a cliff is a wonderful analogy!!

Sad thing I have learned is that we long to save people from themselves and impart our lessons to them. I really admire you for continuing to try, and you do it from the best possible motives.

You may be right, but my experience has shown me otherwise! 'I did it my way' is a deservedly popular song.

Of course we share our experiences, and of course we want to reach out . . . .

I think we may have to agree to differ on this one [ particularly as I want you to be right!!!

Please do not think that because I disagree with you I don't respect what you say, and consider if carefully. I am not preaching, I hope, a gospel of despair. It would be MUCH better if we could learn effectively and quickly from others' experience.
