On compassion, discernment, boundaries, intuition....(w/ 9/14 update)

[OneGrassRoot]

UPDATE: I just created a new OP with a poll, if you care to chime in. Please note that if a group within DU is created, I wouldn't be involved, for the reasons I explain in the OP. I want to make that clear...lol...so people don't assume I would be the one doing it.

This dear soul shared her thoughts in response to my OP in GD in which I asked for feedback.

I want to post here because I think there is a LOT to explore in what she wrote and my reply to her, and some of you dear souls may have wonderful insight.

The last thing I want is for Wishadoo to be associated with suffering, and thus avoided, but that's precisely what has happened as it concerns my most sensitive friends. (I'm sensitive, so imagine how it affects me...lol...but I have learned to set boundaries and work through it. In fact, I've recently become familiar with the phrase "bodhisattva warrior" -- that is my path. So, turning away from suffering is not an option. For me.

As always, thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts (here or in the GD thread).
