In fact, such ill-constructed attacks and arguments (if they even justify the term) leveled against your work often reinforce your solidness to serious seekers.

Save your concern for those who bring true, weighty commentary to the table.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349811378040438504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14410967.post-52681124678486331222009-12-03T09:07:59.853-07:002009-12-03T09:07:59.853-07:00One of the most important lessons to learn in livi...One of the most important lessons to learn in living in this world is learning which battles to fight, and which to walk away from. We tend to talk about this world in idealistic terms and waste too much energy complaining that other people are not ideal. Rather, it is important to recognize that the world is in reality not ideal and in order to accomplish things in this world, we must work within the context of the reality of this world. Only then can we effectively affect positive change.Jim Pembertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446388434272680014noreply@blogger.com
