And not only did they "choose" to do so in your opinion, but also in your opinion, they did so to the "extreme"  (your word).  That judgmental adjective [extreme] further exemplifies your audacity in quantifying proper and acceptable as well as improper and unacceptable levels or degrees of expression and feelings.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;"Extreme" (in this context and subject) teeters precariously close to sympathizing with those who would either deny or excuse this stain on history.  If "Radical Forgiveness" means that in the presence of visual reminders to this horror one can/should find justification or a 'root cause'  (**i.e. shoes piled to remind us we are all One in this tragedy**), then  I submit "Radical Forgiveness" is woefully deficient in recognizing what even Jesus himself allowed for the very real existence of Pure Unadulterated Evil. Evil even beyond the parameters of Pure Unadulterated Good.  If it is radical forgiveness to unite us, in this context, it's NOT to unite us to forgive or accept a reason.  It's to accept and understand that there is NO reason for evils such as this.  No prescient warning to future generations.  (If so, it obviously has failed miserably.)  No, the only unison found here is the united acceptance of the reality - not the concept - of Pure Unadulterated Evil.  It existed, exists and will continue to exist in this world and, Mr. Tipping, that Evil is more than just a little immune to being 'radically forgiven."&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;One minor question:  What exactly are your credentials other than writing yet another self-help book based on your personal philosophy?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1695621779894445153/6144624826554860072/comments/default/7320960323238822625'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1695621779894445153/6144624826554860072/comments/default/7320960323238822625'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://colintipping.blogspot.com/2007/08/seeing-perfection-in-situation-reframe.html?showComment=1189092720000#c7320960323238822625' title=''/><author><name>Linda</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://colintipping.blogspot.com/2007/08/seeing-perfection-in-situation-reframe.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695621779894445153.post-6144624826554860072' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1695621779894445153/posts/default/6144624826554860072' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695621779894445153.post-3802364323070417967</id><published>2007-08-14T12:42:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-08-14T12:42:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>If the root cause of everything is to know we are ...</title><content type='html'>If the root cause of everything is to know we are all One, that we are all loved, all complete and all perfect as we are, then the defination of 'reframing' is to do nothing but get to the root cause.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1695621779894445153/6144624826554860072/comments/default/3802364323070417967'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1695621779894445153/6144624826554860072/comments/default/3802364323070417967'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://colintipping.blogspot.com/2007/08/seeing-perfection-in-situation-reframe.html?showComment=1187109720000#c3802364323070417967' title=''/><author><name>Dana</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10379517158938962719</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://colintipping.blogspot.com/2007/08/seeing-perfection-in-situation-reframe.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695621779894445153.post-6144624826554860072' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1695621779894445153/posts/default/6144624826554860072' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695621779894445153.post-5349093429285405718</id><published>2007-08-14T11:51:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-08-14T11:51:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I am wondering if "reframing" can actually get to ...</title><content type='html'>I am wondering if "reframing" can actually get to the root cause.
