I read a blog earlier today called To Trick or Treat or Not?. And I found myself angry, furious, ready to spit nails, so angry that I wanted to cry. And unfortunately I posted comment.

I try not to post when I am mad. I tend to look like a jerk. Sorry Naomi.

Anyway I posted a comment that I was offended.... Offended that someone didn't like the idea of treat-or-treating.

My emotions made no sense. So I have been thinking about it....

And it dawned on me....

I was having an emotional flash back to last Halloween. Last year, Natasha and I were walking from door to door. It it always fun seeing and talking to neighbors. And then Natasha rang "the door".

The woman opened the door and proceeded to lecture Natasha on the evils of Halloween and "good" people didn't do it.

I WAS SO MAD.

I was mad that this women had her porch light on. If you don't celebrate Halloween all you have to do is keep your porch light off.

Natasha had her feelings hurt. And I wanted to rip this woman's lungs out because she hurt my baby.

But I didn't say anything to the woman, other then she should turn off her porch light. And I told Natasha not to worry about the lady. And we had fun.

I thought that I had let go of my anger.

Guess not.....

I need to work on that. Anger can be a poison.

You could have replied with, "Good people also don't pass judgement on others by alluding to the fact that you are calling them "bad" people for engaging in something that your religion or belief system doesn't participate in."

But turning off the porch light comment was just as well.

Our pastor holds the same views. We'll be trick-or-treating tomorrow. We all view things differently in life. *hugs*

This reminds me of a discussion on the forums once about Xmas. Some parents were offended that people lie to their children about Santa! You just can't please everyone.

I like your "dawn" Angela!
