I appreciate all who have taken the time to post here in the Politics Forum.
I want to thank all those who have selected "like" for the posts I have made here at LPSG Politics Forum. You are special to me.
The Politics Forum has become an important part of my life. I appreciate the different posts and posters, even those with whom I disagree.
Reading posts from people with different viewpoints has lead me to reexamine by viewpoint. Most of the time I become even more convinced I am right.
Often, there is a small change in my view point. There have been cases where there has been a major revision of my viewpoint on subjects.
Mostly I have had my knowledge and understanding of the world greatly enhanced reading posts from all around the world.
There is no way I could ever do the research that would be needed for me to read so much of what I have read here.
There is such a very significant number of posters who back up what they write with sources.
Of course I like the posts of those who agree with me more than I like the posts that disagree with me. This is human nature.
Here at Politics Forum:
I get to read credible sources from all around the world that are written in English.
I get to read other posters editorials.
I get to be an editorialist which I really love doing.
I get to have my mind made more active.
I get to organize, and reorganize posts.
I get to look over and delete non-essential stuff in a post. ( I am still learning how to do this!)
I get to develop friendships in a way that are different from the physical world.
I get to be awed by the knowledge and writing of other people.
I get to exercise my brain. Just as our physical bodies need exercise so does our brains if we want to stay mentally sharp.
I suspect I have left out a few "I get" that are important to me.
This thread will go to page two and on down quickly. Hopefully there is no controversy here that keeps posters posting.
This is the best way I know how to speak to everyone who has become friends.
One philosophy I have come to really believe is that the present is the time to say thanks. There is no guarantee that we can say thanks in the future.
I have had some very serious health scares this past year. It looks like I have won on keeping good health at least for the foreseeable future.
I hope and plan to be around for many more years. However, no one has this as a guarantee.
Again thanks to all who make Politics Forum a great place to be!
