That is what I tried to do. I sought out the opinion of an Elder and selassielive, for whatever reason, interjected a campaign for his position, of which he already expressed several times. In my sights, HE disrespected the Elder by speaking ahead of him when it was the Elder's turn to respond...almost as if selassielive felt the need to lead his response...just as he did again 2 posts previously.

But the Elder in his affections did not address this but politically chooses to speak on open villages instead of directly addressing my inquiry. In other words, he obviously chose selassielive's fragile feelings over prudent reasoning. I commented on how I thought it was biased AND it obviously hit a truthful nerve because now the Elder has taken a "sanity" and "miseducation" potshot at me.

I am not here to make pals or be popular. I am here to express and seek and grasp more Truth, whether it includes everyone else or no one else.

Sorry sis. I will not do this. I will ask that you allow me the space to do what I feel is necessary. I will be better off for this or I will leave...either or, but I will not be phony about it. As long as I feel that there is truth to share and development to be made, I will remain but if this forum continues to look like a feel-good lounge, I will come to my senses and depart. So let us see what is REALLY behind the curtain.

What is going on with this buddy system and favoritism hierarchy is PRECISELY supporting my reasoning in regards to hierarchy.

In this case, it is favoritism.

Be it favoritism or chosenism or blood lineage or whatever the case, this discussion/quarrel/squabble shows and proves what happens when there is a ranking of ANYTHING or ANYONE.

Again, not a word to selassielive...WHY?

Is he exempt?...does he not share fault in this quarrel?...does not Baba Marcus now share complicity in his "sanity" and "mis-education" punches?

How would it have sounded had I suggested senility issues towards him???

Has ANYONE said anything about priest's terroristic "face to face" insinuations towards ras levi or myself?

I am not interested in character refinement...I am interested in TRUTH only...through grasping Truth will my character become refined, but I will not feign proper gentlemanly, etiquetted behavior for the sake of feeding comfort levels.

The problem with our people is that we are too worried about hurting feelings and damaging psyches and ruffling comforts and stepping on toes and breaking fragile egos instead of overstanding that tearing down is the only way to rebuild even stronger.

In my opinion, this quarrel and the behaviors displayed demonstrate how some us really feel and think that by "burying" something it will simply go away.

Politrickal correctness means to shut up and let something go even though the injustice has been done and the injustices continue.

Political correctness is a jedimindtrick of babylon. I must say that it is very interesting that priest brought in the volcano card because truthfully volcanos are indeed VERY RELEVANT to what is happening here...and also very ironic is how, as priest mentioned, lava does burn the skin off...in other words, the outflow from a volcanic eruption removes masks.

We are clearly seeing what ones are REALLY made of...the kid gloves and the masks are off.

Burn baby burn!

I will seek balance which is true peace, but I will not settle for pacification.

I give thankhs for the revelation of Truth, whichever way it is revealed.
