Pleased to meet you anotherjoe!
i've really come to the conclusion quite lately that i need to be patient and somehow give support and almost empathy in order for these people to open just a crack. i myself can easily get into arguments because i simply enjoy confrontation on the facts. (Chalk it up to my aries rising, lol!!!)
You are entirely right in your points...Now i resolve to be a gentler, kinder and more patient kind of advocate for that which i love and know to be true!!!
Thank you for this post! Following!
