So, I wonder if Wisdom Seeker is tired of people thumbing their noses at her rules yet?

Are people really this immature?

I feel sorry for Wisdom Seeker. I dont' think she should give those blessings she was gracious enough to offer to give. I sure wouldn't.

Thank you Old Soul for putting yourself in my shoes. You're right. I really had no idea that it was going to be so hard for people to do what I asked. And it has made me feel pretty disrespected, especially by a few who I asked nicely to follow the criteria and who decided that they were going to "thumb their noses" as you put it, at me instead.

And I am thinking of just giving the blessings now to those who've respected my wishes and calling it quits.

Maybe I should do that and change the opening post to reflect that it's been done. It's too bad that a few people have to spoil it for others. And I am really surprised that it happened about 50 times so far. I could see it happening once or twice. But I had no idea. It's not fair when you have conditions in which one person will win a reward, and so many people blatently disregard the conditions. I don't get that. It seems kind of Junior High School to me.

For those of you who made a mistake. Don't sweat it. It happens. For the young person that said that they didn't read the opening post and now feel stupid. I am very sorry about that. I hate feeling stupid. It's probably my least favorite feeling of them all.

But what would you do? I wanted this thread to be something that would help us to open up and let people in. Fellowship is what it's called in church. I have no trouble being real with people. And I'm always taken aback that it's not something everyone is comfortable with. But, perhaps this thread was a mistake. And I should just cut my losses and concede defeat in what I had hoped was going to be something really special.

I'm not really that generous of a person. And this thread has reaffirmed why. People in general don't appreciate the sacrifices that other people go through to do something nice for them. They just don't care. And that makes me sad.

So, I think I will bless the people who I've enjoyed reading. And the rest of you, can go on as you have been and fill the thread up with meaningless superficiality. I'm sorry that I've asked you to step out of your comfort zone. I'll try to remember not to do that again in the future.

Take Care everyone. And I harbor no ill will, really. I am just very disapointed.
Wisdom Seeker

I'm sorry Wisdom Seeker, I'm one who did not read the opening post.


I was born & raised & lived all my life in Canada, although I have travelled & seen most of Canada & most of the United States.

I think the thread was an interesting idea and I see no reason not to keep it going.

BTW I graduated High School in Biloxi Mississippi.
