you have already stated that what you hought i was doing is called tough love. and you have stated, i think, that you believe my intentions were pure.
now you state: that “tough love “ from every which direction (and from people with confictng agendas, what’s more ) is bound to be stressful, in the extreme, not least for an aspie.
does this mean that you have conceded that perhaps that is all Lucifer was trying to do? albeit with a different agenda from me, but perhaps with his best interest also in mind?
i am just thinking that it may not have been overt manipulation.
Hmm. Well, if you can appreciate my POV , thus far, I’m more than happy with that , McJ
Or to put it another way, I think the question of Lucifer’s intention is irrelevant to the question in hand (and any number of other significant questions) so I’d rather not argue about it
I suppose that I
have conceded that point, but I haven’t changed my opinion on Lucifer’s intentions and I don’t want to pretend that I have, so ‘m floundering a bit with my choice of words, for fear I’ll inadvertently give that impression. (fricking aspie fastidious honesty strikes again)
I think there's room for agreement on any number of significant issues, and room to sympathise with
both parties, if we only leave that one aside. So don’t press me to agree with you on that particular detail , huh? And I won’t press you, either.
Peace?
