BH and BH are arguing semantics as far as I'm concerned.
Been around here long enough to know that Braveheart has a very realistic view of things. Like the rest of us, his outlook is based on his experiences. He helps all of us see the reality that so many times we'd prefer to ignore. He might be a bit more blunt than sometimes people would prefer, but he's not rude and he's certainly not someone it sucks to be.
Big Hands, don't know you, have only read your many posts. You seem like you have a good outlook on things. I'm not sure why you'd want to lay it heavy on Braveheart for his particular bent. After the crap most of us have gone through, I think we'd all be tired of having people bitch at us just because we don't see things the way they do.
In the end, I think you're both saying the same stuff, you're just using different words.
Bravehearts got plenty of faith and hope, but his is in HIM. He trusts what he sees, because, like many of us, he's been decieved by the very person who was supposed to NEVER decieve.
Room for all of us here.
As long as we're not engaging in idle chat at least...
Blessings,
Bill
