For the record, I do actually strive to be a more kind and loving person. I try to be kind to all, but tend to focus my "loving" on those closest to me, primarily my wife and children. It takes a conscious effort on my part to be kind. I have an instinctual response to help others in need and the ability to identify needs before they are articulated. Some people see this as me being kind, I just see it as my duty to help those who need help.
I understand and appreciate where these techniques are coming from and further understand that they may be beneficial to others...just not me. Many of these concepts are addressed through m spiritual faith. I recieve both education and edification from my church and through fellowship with those within my faith. I don't hold this particular author in very high regards so it is difficult for me to buy into everything he has to say. Being a professional researcher, I do admit that there may be some validity in his approach, but there are many assumptions he has made to date that are conjecture rather than supported data.
I respect this process (within the class) however, I do not agree with the author. I am thankful that these exercises allow us the opportunity and freedom to disagree without having a negative effect on our grade:) However, I am actually more concerned about learning than I am making an A...in case you can't tell:)
Thanks for stopping by.
George
