Finest Post Nominations - December 2021

So true, Laks.

@SuiDhaaga has described it aptly in I ❤️ You Guys. Each thread and the responses leave a mark on us, sometimes without us being immediately aware of it.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank members who start threads. The starter posts are like the thread and needle of IL : ) holding it together, one thread and one stitch at a time. : )

 

Thank you Laks and Metamorphic. The thread by @nuss Learning To Accept That I Can Be Kind And Courteous! deserves to be made a sticky. When you see such examples of conflict or strife proactively nipped by one member taking the initiative and another gracefully acknowledging it, one realizes if more people followed it, we wouldn't have countries at war with each other. And, we wouldn't have such a busy Relationship forum. : )

Thank you @nuss for starting the thread. It truly felt like the holidays when I read it.

 

My Dear Viji Meri Jaan, thank you for nominating this lovely snippet by @satchitananda. Laks, I am not surprised that you found yourself seconding the nomination.

As usual, a snippet from Satchi is like reading your own thoughts and feeling "that's exactly what I wanted to say!"

I remember typing an email to a friend when I was going through an India trip. I was cribbing about having to touch the feet of arbitrary folks among the extended relatives of the in-laws. She, not very helpfully, responded, "Well you fell in love, now fall in respect [at their feet]." : )

Respect can be a simple as well as a complex notion. Demonstrating it, expressing it, recognizing it and receiving it, can all be different for each person.

 

Dear Mistt, as the nominated post is not an original writing, it cannot be considered for FP. It will be moved to the Interesting Shares section soon. I came across versions of it online such as here.
