Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Had an incredible epiphany last night following practically no sleep since Friday night...I didn't want to miss anything key in the first 24 hrs. It was like a surrender of emotions. Turned completely off. No fog. Clarity.
Such absolutely crystal clear sobriety - an emotionless 40,000 ft view of the "situation" from Saturday - but especially, clearly seeing the mechanics of people polarizing behind various ideas, like little cul-de-sacs where they organically form camps of sorts of similar emotional vibrations.
Imagine knowing, without a shadow of a doubt, the crystal clear truth of a situation... like you were let into a secret circle that was in the know... but if others knew it would ruin things...So you know. Big deal. Life goes on. Just let it be. Sit back and observe the workings...chop wood and carry water...
Objectivity is a priceless gift while we are alive in this life. It does not make one cold at heart. For me, it is the reward of Faith. let go, let God.
