AOW, I thought of you when I posted this. I knew you would appreciate what the video conveys and what it asks all of us to do when we interact with others.
Anonymous, I'm not sure that all those comments are made by FT's friends. Commenters who frequent his site would be the correct term, I think.
Yeah, they're venting, and I doubt that FT will delete their comments to an post that extends the following invitation: Let's see how much hate rhetoric you can conjure up today..
Thank you for intervening on my behalf, AOW. I don't believe Ms Shaw believes for a moment that those people are my friends. If anything, they are the opposite, but after battling myriad irrelevant posts larded with hateful thoughts mostly directed at me, and stupid reflexive "boilerplate" remarks for several days running, I decided to open the blog to an officially-sanctioned "HATEFEST" -- and stay away to see what idiotic remarks might be deposited in my territory.
Sticks and Stones and all that. It gives me no pleasure, but it's rather interesting to see how eagerly people expose their ill nature -- as though it were some sort of virtue.
Every one of us needs to realize we're all in the SAME boat, and working against each other will do nothing to help us make a safe landing on a pleasant shore.
If anything, continued internecine warfare might seriously damage or even capsize the boat.

Awesome.
I had a difficult time emotionally when I watched this video.
I've walked in many of the shoes depicted -- painful to think about, probably because I'm still walking in some of those shoes.
The above is not to say that this video isn't of great importance. If only people would TRY to understand what others might be enduring!

Shaw,
I thought that your intention might have something to do with the situation here in the AOW household.
Christians claim to live by "Go unto others as you would have them do unto you." I do see some of that among A FEW of my friends -- not many.
Neither Mr. AOW nor I want pity, but we could use a better support system.
