I like these old threads being bumped for whatever reason as I would have not found or read it otherwise and it helps a newer member to learn more of the history for a better overall perspective.

I believe the OP was making that point. Graciegirl is right in her response. Far too many of us take what someone says as truth. It may not be because they did lie, exaggerated, acted out emotionally/implusively or simply were factually incorrect for a number of reasons. We simply do not know. The classic Who What When and How help sort these things out in our minds but as the OP in dicated we ought to give an individual the benefit of the doubt. and if we can't then perhaps remain silient on the issue |

Hope you are as happy.
Thanks. You're right. Beautiful weather, great friends, fun things to do and many ways to help others.
I only wish I saw less bashing on here. I really don't know why I bother to post. But to be quite honest I came to the villages in 2004 and have watched this board since it started. (only checking in once in awhile). It has had a ton of meanness and has driven many people to stop posting or never post. Maybe that comes with people hiding their identity. At the same time it has many many wonderful posters. I wish everyone a great night. And I really mean that. |

FWIW: We find this to be a useful strategy
when my husband and I are dealing with people whose views differ from ours. Whoever thinks of it first reminds the other one that this person is doing the best that s/he can given their history, energy available at the moment, circumstance, knowledge they have etc. and that if we had the same input as her/him that we would be doing the same thing. (I know that may be a big jump for many people!) It's similar to "there but for the grace of God, go I". It really has helped us in many situations to be more understanding and less defensive about our views.
Another good question that we got from a trainer was " What presuppositions must that person have to lead to that conclusion." That has often been useful as the person was usually just missing some info and jumping to a conclusion from a picture they were creating their own history and from limited input. In fact in one course we learned that 80% of our conclusions come from our history and only 10% from the information. At that rate it's a miracle we can communicate clearly at all, let alone understand the person enough to make a judgement call. LW888
