Sadly, comments can't carry tone of voice, and that can go a long way to showing one's meaning

I enjoy writing and reading comments almost as much as creating and reading poetry. I Always try to answer aptly to the best of my ability, but who knows maybe someone has misconstrued my reply. Never a truer word spoken. Well penned. Blessings, Jennifer.

A very good point Dear John, I take the tack that everyone is entitled to their own views, live and let live I always say, and not be worried slighted by adverse comments. You have put it well. Hugs Maria

Hi Maria, adverse comments never bother me, the bad things people say is a reflection of themselves. God bless you. Xx

No matter what someone may say - It can be taken the wrong way - If you haven’t a clue - Why it happened to you - Don’t let it spoil joy of your day… Sis Beryl

Hi John, Yes this can happen, here or anywhere. The problem is people think that an opinion is truth. My words are not truth. They are the world as I see it after decades on this earth. I wrote a poem about this very topic.. people cannot distinguish anymore between truth and don’t question the speaker. It’s OK I think..to have a dialogue, yes?? Pangie

Hi Pangie,I do believe the truth no longer exists, what with the media and politicians pushing their own agenda. Thank you for your visit and comment God bless you.

Hello John, being a counselor is always an aspect of worry to some degree about what to say or not to say. After all, isn't that the question? Great Perspective and Introspective. Autumn Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Ain't it the truth! Good gosh you would think that having an opinion that may differ from others makes one an evil ogre. Such is the divided, hateful world we live in. Thank goodness for the decent, reasonable folk who can engage in healthy debate without the lies, slander and name calling

Hi Tom, I never take things to heart, the bad things people say is a reflection of themselves.
