Thought for the day/life: 9/03

[Gardenman]

Don?t ignore the challenges that you bring into your life. They are for your learning. If you choose to ignore them, be assured, they will keep coming until you learn the lesson you were meant to. Your life is for your growth

[Sue]

Sorry, Gardenman, even I can't agree with that.

Who do you think is setting these "lessons" you are "meant" to learn, then?

How are "you" bringing challenges into your life?

What exactly does "your life is for your growth" mean in practice?

When your car runs out of fuel late one night in the middle of nowhere (and if you make it back) you learn to fill the b****y thing up next time.

You quickly learn not to eat yellow or brown snow

You can also learn that a glass with half the contents missing means it's your tight mates round

[Gardenman]

Well Sue, you can always come on one of our retreats to find out! Just published details in business section. Special offer only to you !

[rendelharris]

Yet again, symptomatic of the bizarre New Age trope that anyone who has problems must somehow have brought them upon themselves and has only themselves to blame if they can't cope with them. Unhelpful, solipsistic drivel.

Sorry, shan't be doing that.

Did all that stuff in the seventies and eighties.

Moved on.

Rendelharris, I agree.

I see you didn't also cite the 60's Sue, what is it they say about that decade, if you can remember the 60's you weren't really there... :)

Well I can remember the 60s, but then I've never done drugs :))

Gardenman can I bring artificial grass.

[Angelina]

Gardeman, I get it.

But....You need to start with something simpler and work up....

[JoeLeg]

I would say he needs to start with something less condescending and ignorant.

Sue?
