The Way it MIGHT Be
So instead of saying, "Oh, gee. This was a joke or something. Oh well...lesson learned.Whatever"
You came over here to talk down to people, and not give any advice and bascially seek Revenge.
A "Goddess"?
I think not.
OK, so some of the SS guys went overboard.
But it is strange that your feelings were so damaged, and your 'trust' so violated that you wnet on some sort of campaign on your own here.
You say that there are people here who 'dish it out but cant take it."
So you recipriocate and lower yourself to some immature tactics to 'get back' what was 'taken' from you.
Touche, you obviously still have issues.
You know what?
I admire that.
I sense your strength, but also your weakness, even though you seem to be avoiding looking at yourself in that light.
But this is the only way you will grow.
I would be doing a disservice to you ,and to my principles by not addressing you more honestly and intimately as I feel this should be addressed, and dropping my guard as well.
No one is here to feed your ego and validate your narcissistic tendencies.
Believe me, many of us here have had to learn that lesson the hard way too.
And while I cant apologize for the raid (which was originally done with GOOD Intentions) and speak for EVERYONE at SS, I do feel bad that your feelings were so hurt that you took it upon yourself to unleash your hurt on the forum members.
I will tell you this, neither YOU nor any of the Raid campaign feel any better about what eventually happened.
You accomplished nothing.
Instead, you brought on MORE negative feelings toward you.
And you know what?
YOU, Touche, are better than that and DONT deserve that treatment.
Yet instead of acting with your Higher Self, and operating from compassion andunderstading, you operated, REACTED out of LACK and Scarcity.
Touche, no one has hurt you.
No one here CAN hurt you.
Dont you see?
Look, I applaud your post, and your attempt to 'come clean'.
I do, you know why?
Because the ddeeper motivation was to make peace and right WRONGS.
This is your Higher Self moving through you, and motivating you to do what you did.
Touche, as a woman, not a goddess.....realize that you too have to be open to receving negative feedback. Because this is the only way you can see yourself in that light to grow and learn from.
Even though you have developed that hard outer shell, you are still soft and tender on the inside.
And that is nothing to be ashamed of.
In fact to me personally, I actually can understand and appreciate it.
And instead of seeking to divide and conquer, why not bring peace by bringing people together.
If there's one quote I'd like to share here is this, from Stephen Covey;
"Seek first to understand, then to be understood."
Why , Touche?
Because in this manner you always Operate from Abundance.
In the other, you operate from Lack.
One seeks first to GIVE, the other seeks to TAKE.
Whcih one is Higher Character, Touche?
And which one do you see as having abundant emotional resources?
I feel that a woman like you, with a painful past that many men and women can relate to, should be spoken to in a manner that will help you, deeper....not inflate your ego.
The minute we stop questioning, and think we know it all, and are 'above' anyone or anything is when we have FAILED
And when we have DISCONNECTED from our fellow Man.
Touche, sometimes Men want ot just be Men, can you understand?
I will tell you something that for some reason , you may not have picked up on.
If you have studied evolutionary psychology at all, and look at female social interactions, you will see huge RADICAL ways between how women evolved in this area, and how Men evolved.
To put it short, women evolved and grew up in much closer, tighter social circles, with much more emotional support.
MEN simply DID NOT.
Men were generally out hunting and killing things and building villages and damming rivers and such..
Back then they even had Manhood intiations.
Nowadays, none of those things exist in the developed world.
But women still grew up in tighter social circles.
Men did not.
and they STILL to this DAY do NOT anything near resembling some sort of emotional supprt network or some sort of social constructs that helps men develop and maximize their masculinity and really grow into their Manhood.
There is somethign missing in men's lives.
Yes, ther are things missing in women's lives too.
But there are differences.
Sites like SS fill a void in many men's lives.
Here's somethng simple for you to think about.
many males grow up without good positive strong masculine role modles.
They grow up, but still maintain a boy psychology.
now, they grow up feeling like theres something missing and a disconnect.
(truth be told, many women complain too about the lack of postive femenine role models in their lives growing up too.)
Yet they are told that what they need to do is be more sensitive, share their emotions more, in essence, adopt what woudl be considered more femenine traits in order to function in the modern world.
What is happening is that many men are growing up not being masculine and are told that the solution is to be more femenine.
Do you follow?
Men, whom have not felt their masculinity, are told to be more femenine in their thougths and behavior.
Can you imagine what kind of monkey wrench this is to a man's psyche?
Men are told to identify with women, and are told that masculinity is bad, and to identify with females not masculinity.
Most women do not understand this, and are completely unable to even process this.
"What..men have problems??!! Ridiculous!"
So we have entire generations of males having severe Identity crises.
Many men are told and dictated that they MUST share their most deepest and intimate problems and issues with women too.
Many men feel UNCOMFORTABLE doing this.
Do you see?
So they want to talk in an environment where THEY feel secure and hopefully, not judged, and if at all....only 'judged' by other men.
Do you see why when women come hear to try to shame men and
emasculate them they ARE NOT "HELPING" MEN here AT ALL???!
Do you see why men just want to sometimes talk and share amongst themselves?
many of you have NO IDEA what Men go through. And even less idea on how to help us.
Doesnt make us LOVE You any LESS...
But, when you come in here professing to be an expert know it all just because you are female, and proclaim yourself to be a Goddess while of all things talking down to us.....well, this is not the best way to make a friendly impression on a population who are trying to figure things out for themselves.
