Guys, I’ve watched this thread over the past couple of days and a few times I’ve been tempted to jump in when things have become fraught, but then someone shows a bit of empathy and it’s back on track.
Can I just say this ….. We are all different people with different personalities, beliefs and interests, brought together by the fact that in some shape or form we deal with problems arising from disabilities on a daily basis.
We are obviously going to react differently to things that are said on here, because we’re led by our own experiences and upbringing. The one thing that has kept this forum running is the willingness of each of us to respect each others right to hold their own opinion.
My parents taught me that the greatest quality anyone could have is ’empathy’ …. the ability to imagine yourself in another person’s situation, in order to understand how your thoughts and deeds affect that person.
Let’s keep it friendly guys, even when we think we’re right and everybody else is wrong. Thank you.
