Saving the old growth- you must see this!

[RobArb]

I accept my path, I take what life throws at me a day at a time, i do what I can for my kids and make sure they have a secure future. I believe in some good causes and like yourself have an interest in this field. I just feel in my opinion preaching to the public masses is wrong, and that goes for whatever you believe in, christian, atheism, gaeism (spelling or made up) or devil worshiping, if indeed the devil exists!

 

There are ways and means to get messages across, I am in no way correct on this matter, it is just my opinion, but messages with added "pressure" can be seen as preaching and people of weak mind easily get sucked in

 

Again I must re-iterate, I am not getting at you in particular as I do believe in this noble cause, and do feel we are on a downward spiral unless something is changed. But there are ways and means to everything without "preaching"

fortunately, that "preaching" in your words (sad) is much more appreciated than criticised, which IS what your doing. Your using a derogatory term to describe your perception of my views and approach to highlighting and publicising the issues.

 

That is a shame coming from you, I am disappointed, but thats your flow, i will choose to continue my flow like water flows around the rock in the stream. Eventaly even the biggest of rocks are worn to pebbles and trundle along in the currents of movement and flow.

I love listening to people with a passion. Wise words.

I am only making an observation, it is hard to put across a message on a public forum when you can't tell the internation in my voice.

 

If you feel disappointed then you have jumped to the wrong conclusion about what I was trying to say, yes maybe i shouldn't of used the word preaching, but at that time, in my head, it seemed appropriate. As stated, I am fully aware of the issues you have brought to light, some of the videos you have posted I have watched some time ago but chose not to post them here (or elsewhere) for reasons of my own.

 

Your views and opinions, just as everybody else's, are important, it's the way we put that message across that is even MORE important. So I don't mean to criticise and apologise if you thought I was doing. I just think that society is a rolling stone that keeps getting bigger on it's downwards path

I guess some poeple will not acept the truth and the discomfort that goes with accepting that we are on a path that we will see end the reign of the human animal.

 

Unfortunately the human animal is a parasite, we take what we can with the majority never putting back. I'm scared that one day we shall do what we have done here to a far off distant beautiful green planet.

Lastly, I am also disappointed that your disappointed! Surely we all have our own choices to make in life? Are you saying your disappointed because i'm not following yours?

 

Tony, i like you, i like the work you do, (i like your reductions), I like your generosity, you are inspiring and passionate, but i just feel that sometimes that passion can get the better of you

Listen, dont get your knickers in such a twist!

 

Language is the hardest barrier in this format of communication, so choose your words wisely, I try VERY hard to do likewise, look back at the early days of hamadryad!

 

Passion can get the better of us at times, but if my sins on this earth are being inspiring and generous with a little bit of getting the better of me, I know I will have lived well, that my path is the one I choose, and not the one dictated to me by anyone of my peers and certainly not some smart arse student:001_tt2:

 

I have been aroud this old forest a long while kiddo:biggrin:

[RobArb]

1) to call me a smart arse student and kiddo implies many things, things that can be taken the wrong way on this communication format, I remember someone once telling me (not so very long ago:biggrin:) to choose ones words wisely otherwise things sound derogatory

 

2) I may be a student, but in life, I am only 6 years behind you and have enough life experience (although still learning day to day like ALL of us) to know my own mind and form an opinion on which a base my living.

 

3) I think you'll find if you read back I have never "dictated" anything, only offered an outlook on the situation as it appeared to me

 

4) I don't wear knickers, only thongs!

 

5) and it's good to debate/argue on matters we feel passionate about, it's how we learn and improve what we know and opens or eyes to other stuff

 

6) I've been round this forest a while too, I just have a different outlook of it to you:biggrin:

[RobArb]

Smilies are THE most important thing:thumbup:
