Guest guest Posted January 11, 2002 Report Share Posted January 11, 2002 Very well said, Jody.... As I truly believe... Your walk is your own, and should not be compared to anothers.... As everyone's path, while possibly appearing to resemble your own, is not your own... But theirs. Therefore, can we ever accurately guage where another is, or what their intent, or what it is they believe... As even beliefs differ from person to person. This is where trust and doubt comes into play... We dont have to trust or doubt another being at all... It is not even necessary to play that game.. But do we dare to trust or doubt ourselves? The concept of doubt and trust are taking a shift in my thinking. I'll openly admit to that. So what I think today on the subject, may differ tomorrow... But I hold steadfast in my belief that we all take a different approach, due to our life experiences...
