I think that it is important that people maintain this; to write from the heart. None of us are overall experts. However, what we are, are experts (learning to be), in our own experiences. We have gained valuable insight(s) and knowledge from our own traumas, and how those traumas have affected us. We can relate and empathise but importantly we can highlight how we have perhaps dealt with similar experiences.

When we are relating to threads and posts I believe that most of the time we write from a place of understanding and reflection. However, there are times when we do just sympathise with a persons' situation and that might be because we do not have a direct experience, or perhaps we have not fully comprehended what the experience meant for ourselves.

It's tough to come on here and open yourself up (akin to the operating table), and then know how to write in a constructive manner.

I say concentrate on getting your own truths out there! Concentrate on finding your own truths. I am sure over time as people begin to do this they will become much more constructive.

After all how can you construct something you have not figured out for yourself? You can't! So muddle your way through, read, read read until you comprehend the meaning for yourself......

Don't we need a little of everything in order to prize out the positive stuff - if we are all going at this hammer and tong then we will not find a place of meaning? The mix of everything and everyone is what makes this work. i.e. one person's perception may trigger an alternative response in another person. Our differences are what facilitate the true meaning behind all of our banter - to look beyond your own perceptions and challenge YOURSELF. Not necessarily challenge everyone else lead by example!

We should just write from the heart and everyone will feel what we have to say- and the rest will all fall into place.

Just my thoughts!
