It is the time of year we hope that peace and love abounds. Let's try something. For the next 24 hours we could try to see the good in everyone and their artwork, too. You know doggone well if something terrible happened to anyone of us we would immediately find ourselves reassessing that person's worth and feel bad for them. I certainly don't agree with everything that is said in this forum, nor do I see worth in some of the artwork (I am not referring to any the artists in this thread, by the way...in fact, I often dream about pink ponies/goats/raccoons and I hope to become an old naked lady in a temple someday) Actually, I am glad that I have no talent what so ever...then I never have to worry about being insulted or crushed. My stuff is all silly and that is the only way see it. What I do believe is that there are very few instances where someone intentionally starts out to hurt someone else. It usually starts with a misunderstanding of views or statements and escalates into something ugly. Soon the main issue is forgotten and people are sniping at one another. The fact that there is hate mail and trolling truly appalls me. That has to come from people who need to take a clearer look at their life. Honest, I am not a total Pollyanna. I just hate to read this type of thread on my Christmas Eve. So I took my turn at spouting off. Peace from Diane in Ohio on Christmas Eve
