The process that Grit posts about is really as he said, about finding a place in oneself where WE choose to walk away/stop standing..whatever you want to call it, from a place of peace. From a TRUE place of understanding.
Eric,
Seriously?
Is this really what you think you have been doing?
For me, (yes, everyone knows, I have stopped standing) THAT, what you wrote, was NOT why I was here. It is NOT why I was standing.
I never did this to STOP standing. I did this to be healthy enough to live a healthy happy life. Period.
I fully believe in standing. That is why I continued to post. I also believe that everyone has to make their OWN decision about when enough is enough.
Good luck if that is really why you think you are here.
Time,
How can you respect a person but not their actions?
Maybe it is better termed "respect a persons right to make their own choices", which I have not really seen you practicing as you post across some of these threads.
As far as Grit standing for a long time, look around the MLC board at people's register dates, he has not stood as long as many here.
Grit,
You are reading into your W's words your own meaning. Not terribly, but a different interperation than I got.
Watch your expectations.
