Layla,
Thank you for starting this very interesting thread, Arcturus and Marie your contributions were most edifying.
There certainly is wisdom in the words that have been written here, the points about how we only know each other by the messages we exchange is an important one. It is on the merit of our words how we are perceived without being filtered through physical appearances, wealth, or any other physical/carnal distractions.
The person on a 12 year old computer in a small apartment on the rough side of town is truly an equal to someone who has more worldly blessings, of course this should always be the case but we all know that in society, even most churches the mentality of "he who owns the most toys wins" is very dominant, the well to do or power brokers in business or politics or wherever gleen the most attention or adulation and respect. This form (Internet) of communication helps to level the playing field as we all continue to grow and mature in His Spirit.
It also should make us more careful in the words we use and things we write, something that could be taken lightly or even humorously with a smile or other type of body language can be perceived as hurtful or aggressively hostile written in black and white.
Thank you all again.
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
Joe
