Not sure which other forums you visit, so posting this here. It's sort of about that thread over in the Asteroid forum. Just wanted to know if that's what you really thought of me. Don't want to turn this into a soliloquy of my values and such, but honestly - I would never ever judge anyone like that. <-- I hope you know that.
In fact, I've given people the benefit of doubt even after they've bulldozed me dozens of times over. I absolutely do not believe in black-n-white labels of good and bad or anything like that. People, and situations are not quite so simple.
Neither am I a fan of sweeping statements, which do not consider all the factors at play and all the very *real* people involved. That's not just disrespecting astrology, but basic humanity as well. And I've fought against that on these very boards, on many occasions.
Just hoping that you didn't think any of the above, because of that one thread.. I thought I'd made my question clear, and not invited biases of any sort. There are so many ways theses influences can manifest in our lives - even for one person, it won't be the same throughout. There'll be people who trigger sides of you others never get to see. Blanket explanations don't cut it. Also, the 'energy' itself has several channels of expression. It cannot be evil simply by virtue of being primal, and unbridled. There must be other things shaping it that way. So, it can surely *be* that way - but depending on what's pushing it towards that expression.
I'm a science student, I consider all experimental results, even if they do not match my original hypothesis. Asking these questions is an experiment of sorts. I cannot very well be disrespectful to the opinions of those who answer it. Listening does not mean I'm endorsing it. Having said that, I'm sure you remember that I do jump in when things get unbearable for me. I just try to keep a higher threshold.
Anyway, hope some of this rambling has made sense…
XOXO

*Also, the reasons that thread was made were many, can't get into those.. But the gist is that a lot was happening and I was looking for answers..
