    When do you finally say “THAT’S ENOUGH”?

    What puts you over the edge?

    One thing that really puts me over the edge, is when people insult my intelligence by lying to me, especially when they do it over and over again.

    Good for you. My sentiments exactly....

    ....depends on the situation and what , whom, age, where, safety, laws/policies and conditions to consider


    ....I do try to treat others like I want to be treated 

    Every time you change your avatar.

    Love you, too, sweetheart

    Being accused of thoughts that I am not thinking.  


    As if to believe no one, me in particular, is a person that does not possess the strength of growth.  


     


    .... completely done.  


     


    Also, blatant lying ticks me off. 


     


    Social media of any kind definitely has to be the THING, purely based upon the fact ... no one is witnessing the person speaking in real life.  I think Social Media is taking US down As a Global Society.  We are watching this on a most unfortunate level in real time.  


    It is by far, the saddest thing that I have witnessed in my life with only one exception... the inability of our children being able to play on the streets in our neighbourhoods with the other really cool kids that live there.  


    We are people who live in fear, are fed by fear and believe everyone else who does not feed our own personal belief patterns are in fact the enemy.


     


    Great question Julie.  Bang on!


    In summery, in my life time we have now grown to a place of fear and massive judgement.  How can this be good?   There is now no room for positive debate  ... negative thinking patterns breed like bunnies.  


    Here is one simple thing.  Ten years ago on my street kids were still playing street hockey.  I grew up with this.  It was amazing fun, we figured out where we could skate and play real hockey... which was by today's standards, not real at all.  We as kids, had the greatest time.  Now, no kid can do that.  They also can't bike ride like we did.  Every single thing  that kids do now is actually monitored by their (hopefully) completely responsible parent.   ... the every day story gets richer than this.


     


    Great complex question.  My argh!  Has no ending   I am a mom, late in life so very fortunately, that is basically adapting every day.  


    The reinvention of self is never ending.

    We would line up on either side of the road and when a car came along, we'd act like we were pulling a rope (like in tug a war) and when the car slowed and asked what we were pulling we'd answer: we're pulling your leg! You're right fish, street play is no longer. Sad

    Yes. Very sad.

    Welcome back, Fish-O .
    Why can't your kids play with the other kids and play street hockey , etc ...b/c of the crime ?
    FISH-O

    @ M-cat.... because the streets are not safe any longer. All activities must be observed by one or two parents that are related to the child playing. No one, by the way, trusts anyone and unfortunately for good reason. The world has become very small.

    As soon as you ask yourself that question, you already have your answer.

    When I let someone know what is bothering me and there is no dialogue to facilitate peace, I'm done. 


    Of course, it's obvious I am the last to know at that point.

    FISH-O

    Good one.
    It is ok not to agree. A person can't walk forward if they do not see the other side. ... they just stand in one spot and so do we.

    I give people enough rope,and when i decide that no slack is given by other person,then i drop em,,there is an old saying,(a person convinced against their will is unconvinced still )..>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..
