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.
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.
Funy how everyone reads something and sees it differently. When I read that, I read an implied IF/WHEN. IF/WHEN a person chooses to stop standing they do so from a place of peace and understanding not anger etc. Which I think actually goes hand in hand with being healthy enough to live a healthy happy life.
I don't think anyone does this TO stop standing (nor do I think that is what Eric meant but he can speak to that) but inevitably some/many reach that point, and unfortunately many make that decision with anger/hurt/resentment as their motivation.

Agreed. This jumped out at me too. Big difference IMO.

Holding onto anger to punish someone else, is like lighting yourself on fire to get smoke in their eyes ~ 25yearsmlc
