Are you happy with yourself ?

[whiffey]

Are you a good person, are you content to meet your Maker as you are now ?

I am not, and Croydon Cemetery is going to see a lot of a solitary striding person* trying to resolve inner conflicts in company with Dorothy L Sayers and Thomas Hardy.

I have decided to leave AB because of this. It has been lovely knowing you, but I won't be back. I simply can't cope.

Whiffey: Please, I hope I have not offended you in any way. I don't believe that would be anyone's intenet within this site.

Inner Conflict is no longer inner, if you've brought it to the surface. That's the time to regurgitate it, fight it, resolve it, and allow yourself to live free from it.

Why be content to just walk, when you can spread your wings and soar!

Whiffsters :D
I am a goodish person and I shall be meeting my makers later..... in Nine West 4" Heels. xxx

[whiffey]

Fr Bill, you are very kind, of course you personally have not upset me in any way! If I were to reveal my true feelings on here I'd get laughed off. I am just trying to find my own personal Road to Damascus. Saul was so lucky.

[VillageVicar]

Whiffey, I'm glad to better understand by your comment on the road to Damascus...rather than using Ms Sayer. Her complexities were so often brought on upon herself. And whilst I would never suggest that Paul didn't get himself into a right pickle from time to time, he never lost that all important sense of wonderment as well as his continual questioning of himself.

I don't wish to minimalise what your emotions are. However, in my lowest points in life; when I've crawled on the floor, crying out in anguish, asking how can we suffer so, the greatest answer has always been to go outside and look around and find others who are suffering as well and then do something about it.

I see the most grotesque and barbaric causes of suffering every month. But when I reach out to those strangers, I find that I am renourished, I have much greater clarity, and am able to see where my journeys have taken me.

I can say, with hand on heart, without those sufferings, I would never been able to serve as I do.

If I could just slightly guide you away from Croydon's cemetery, and more into where there's life, you may find some of the answers you are seeking.

I shall hold you in my thoughts, whatever your decision

Awww V V, don't pander to him, our whiffey leaves once a week, every week, you get used to him eventually, and he has grown on a few of us.....rather like warts.

[China Doll]

Yes I'm happy with myself. Admittedly I could be happier but I don't think I'm in a position to grumble.

I'd rather not meet my maker now, (I'm not dressed for the occasion to say the very least) but yes I think I'm a good person. One of the best in fact. Although I do need to work on my modesty.
