N: Pete, I was very confused by your above response to my

message: Words on a Screen, because in the response

you are writing esstentially the same thing I am.

Then I noticed you attributed your own words to me

with the little " N: " :

 

P: Noel, you're missing the point! They are not my

words or yours. They are just words on a screen.

This " my words " and " your words " is the very cause

of mental hurt and reactivity.
