They matter to those who consume them.

You can't shut everyone up.

People exchange information for a reason.

Who knows what the intent might be.

Yes completely Agree, it is good too discuss since discussion is a way to communicate situations and feelings and to let other know what is happening that cannot know thru direct experience, then there is going overboard as is the case with the Isreal/Palestine thread, its just gets to a point of why listen, why contribute when ppls strong beliefs overshadow real sharing and listening, plus us talking about it here does nothing to change things..

Discussion and what is going on here on this forum on most posts is just a simple starting point, true change and transformation only happens when internally/individually one has a change in perception and experience, sharing this is good, going over it too much in mind complex is no good, balance as always is needed...
