And what I think Nigee was getting at that he wished I could is a part of my message I am not shy of repeating here: that the most important good thing you can do with your life, more really, substantially important than your job, finances, interests, etc. is just how you treat the human beings that cross your path, whoever they are and however it happens, each person you encounter is an opportunity to do good. Everyone deserves kindness. When you begin to give it away for free, you find that you get it in return everywhere you go.

It's always a welcome reminder, to simply be kind and sympathize with others. The more often anyone does it , the better off he will be. Here we are tonight, pretty much four of us are present: Nigee, Putin, dipplayer, and me. Imagine four men of various ages sitting together in someone's front room tonight, four chairs pulled up, rather than the black and green text you're seeing now.

Changes your image of us, right? We may never meet in person, but that doesn't matter, because we have already met. Webdip is honestly one of the places where I am kind the least often, to my continuing chagrin. Certainly I can partially blame the alienating effect of the virtual world, but that still leaves the one behind the habit. I think some of us were reminded with the recent leavings and banning a of longtime members that this is a real community of real humans creatures and when we lose someone we feel real emotions. A wake-up call for those of us who sometimes lapse into treating this forum as a place to deposit pent-up polemical energy. It doesn't just go out into thin air, in the end. People are reading it.
