Re: The "Beef" over Beef/On Being Nice To Each Other

To relate my own experience, I came on here feeling very sick. My feelings were easily hurt. I find this is a thing that sick people have to deal with. When the body is sick, the mind is affected. The thinking isn't always straight and the tmeper flares easily. As I am feeling a little better, I feel calmer, more able to think and more tolerant of others' in their illnesses.
Besides, we never really know what the other person has to deal with in their life IN ADDITION to the sickness they are experiencing, so IMO, it pays to be nice to everyone.
We are also on a quest for knowlesge, not only to help ourselves, but, hopefully, to help others in the future. When we enter forums like this we are meeting all kinds of people with all kinds of personalities and in all stages of illness.
I try to remember that. When my feelings get hurt, it retards my progress towards the health I am working so hard to regain. So, accepting the fact that my feelings are probably no different than the next person's, I want to be nice to everyone.
