Bets,
"I don't see how anybody could organize such a group (board? this site only?) to get them to agree to anything
, other than each individual's desire to help."
To get them to agree implies an agreement that doesn't come naturally, and if 'with a little help' I'd wonder what kinda help that was.
I've observed some disagreements the last few days, and different ways of dealing with them. The most uncomplicated one I saw today. A customer picked up a bought food item but it fell out of his hands, and then blamed the clerk for the "mishap". The clerk said 'No, you did the picking up part', and then moved on to deal with the next orders. Some kind of balance, and a simple moment I found inspirational while waiting.
A day ago a friend of mine had a disagreement with a family member. The member was mean, but no return to sender by the receiver (ie. walking away, or saying two simple words), and my friend accepted to carry the frustration of the family member. Light.
Some days ago I saw the result of a disagreement on a video snippet. It involved a dog who allegedly had killed some chickens and a dude taking revenge for his mother. The dog was thrown off a bridge by the laughing dude. Broken feet, whimpering and a wagging tail. Dark.
"Just consider the variety of viewpoints that fuel these discussions and you can see that no one comes to a very complete agreement about what is what."
A diversity of viewpoints to form, adopt, share, reject, and be exposed to.
A myriad of timeperiods and cultures to incarnate into - a wealthy dutch businessman in 1748 with a hole in his heart or a whole heart to poke a stereotype, an indian beggar in 2010 with no arms but a son to evoke sympathy as her extended arms, a shaman of an indian tribe in the 1800s healing others' lost soul pieces while ignoring his own, a babylonian whore who loves the male energy more than the money.
A wide spectrum of character traits to choose from using astrological make-up, located all over the the polarity bar - a huge variety of probes having a huge variety of experiences in order to know balance and other.. stuff.
Eventually it works out. I guess.
