Hi! I wanted to add some things after reading some posts earlier. It is true what Edgar A. Guest said: Let me be a little kinder, and let me be a little blinder to the faults of those around me. Yet at the same time, we are here as a community, which means to HELP one another, to commune, to be there for one another...in harmony.
Lately, I'm seeing no harmony among some people...it's like a soap opera...it went overboard with vlogs...I'm imploring with some of you, to please let us help one another by being more kinder and be a bit more blinder to the faults of others. But on the other hand, we need to learn to accept words from others (and don't turn your deaf ear to some advises) and think of it as a way to help us improve ourselves...not to fight back with angry words...it doesn't help....it only makes the angry person feel worse....but if he/she opens his/her heart and see where they are at....they will come to a better understanding and there will be less anger inside their hearts.
We, the Deaf people, are a small community and we definitely need to give each other support...by encouraging one another, in a positive way, giving some advises....some advises may hurt us...but it is for our own good. Sometimes we think that when people hurt us, we are doomed or a failure or what have you...but in reality, they are really helping us, they may not be thinking in this way, but we got to learn to think that way....they are, in a way, teaching us to see ourselves better.
Let us move on to give our community some support...in every which way we can....and let us be a bit more kinder. We need each other!! Peace be unto you all!

Be A Little Kinder...and Blinder to Faults of Others
As seen above (under Deaf Woman Ponders), the quote "Let me be a little kinder, let me be a little blinder to the faults of those around me." by Edgar A. Guest.
This quote had me thinking about a lot of things as there has been quite a few deaths this past month or so. Some have died unhappy and some have died peacefully. It saddens me when we find out the bad news of our dear friends (or our dear friends' friends) or families that have passed us on...some have gone on too young...some have left us too soon. But we remind ourselves that they are at peace. Yet, in the back of our heads, there's always some questions still lingering inside our minds and hearts....
I just learned today that my uncle Bill passed away almost a month ago and no one knew about it until yesterday. Of course it was a shock...he was buried like a pauper in a cemetary with others like him (he will be moved to another cemetary with his parents soon)...he was buried there because the coroner couldn't find Uncle Bill's next of kin...when the coroner should have contacted the landlord for info in their files, to contact one of Uncle Bill's kin.
He had lived alone, never married and wanted no company, was paranoid about everything... no social life, always stayed in his apartment, wouldn't answer doorbells/knockings...wears same clothes and shoes which had holes in them...he's not poor. Apparently he had called 911 when his urine was bloody which (my relatives and I believed that) he must've panicked...so while he was at the hospital, it appears that he didn't tell any doctors or nurses that he has a brother and a sister and many nieces and nephews that cared for him. He wanted to be alone or so it seems.
My uncle's death and others that have passed us on this past month is something we need to ponder and take hold of....be a little more kinder to others for we do not know when our time is up...to leave this earth forever....and for us to be more blinder to people's faults/mistakes and be there for them...if they will let us....even if they are unkind to us, we will let the unkindness slide by us...and for us to just move on and not dwell on what people said against us or behind our backs. Let it go....
Life is too short and we do not know when our time is up....let us live...laugh and love one another....judge not and we will not be judged. I wished for some people to stop backstabbing other people because of finding their faults...it's time to stop looking for faults and look at our own faults....So let us be a bit more kinder to others and overlooking people's faults...it will be much easier on our lives. Have a good dayor evening....give a smile to those who frown....
