CRISPINS CRITTERS

[Peyton Manning]

young Ben, don't get all riled up. Crispin has taken time off before and I think he will be back.
He too is young and needs to learn to pace himself. It's easier to say control your emotions than it is to do.

Just an old man's thoughts..

Just before he left, Crispin had stated that he was only posting in threads where his friends were posting. This goes along with his theory of not compromising his beliefs. But he did not go out intentionally looking for a fight, as you are saying - because it was causing him too much personal anguish.

Just to be sure all is understood correctly. ..I was only speaking of myself, not Crispin.. I have no idea what happened there!!!

Ben,

You definatly need to step back and stop taking everything to heart, life will eat you up and spit you out, and not feel a thing.

You can maintain what you call your core beliefs, and still be able to look at life with out a jaundiced eye. This world would be a very dull place if everything was always in harmony. God intended man to learn, and grow, and as you get older, you actually learn more, and hopefully are able to teach more. You're tired of the constant turmoil, and views that are express opposite of your own, and so are we. My views and beliefs come not from a book, they are from 60+ years of experinceing ups and downs, and making many mistakes. Don't think you are compromising your beliefs, be turning the other cheek, you're not, you'll find as I have that the play ground is not equal, and I will determine when and where to best present my beliefs, and have them understood, and listened to. Constant attacks, will only entrench the opposition, and you are just finding out how that works.

I have a bunch of worthless letters after my name saying I have succeeded in learning something, and gaining a level of intelligence, But I have worked harder gaining the wisdom of making that intelligence worthwhile. And wisdom isn't learned, it's acquired, and not easily.......Gary

Well said Gary, I am just a year older than Crispin, however I am amazed of how much I have learned since I was 18 and I am excited to see what I have learned when I am 60...

I was always told "sticks and stones will break my bones,but,names will never hurt me" took some years to understand that statement.,now I take NOTHING personal,people are not able to help themselves when caught up in the imaginary realm fed by emotion, goes back to "Control your emotions or someone else will" Make sence now? GodBless Chris

it's kind of like Stonewall Jackson, the greatest combat general of all time. If he attacked every time someone fired a gun at his troops he would have given his position away and been defeated before he became great. He knew to choose the proper ground and time to fight. And he knew there were times and circumstances that opened an opportunity for victory and times he could not win. Everyone has to learn to pick your battles wisely.
