I live among blacks and many of them hate East Indians. Several times they have cursed me, called me derogatory names, .. 'stinking fu#$%@g coolie'. Threatened to kill me. But I thank God that I have the strength to live and carry on as if they dont exist. I forgive them. Its no big deal.
Please don't share personal information.

Remember?

Remember?
The decision to share my personal information is mine,. not yours.

A major theme of religion is the ability to forgive wrongs committed against us.

Can anyone, if they don't mind, share a time they told someone "I forgive you", for a particularly egregious act done toward them?
I've never had to say to someone "I forgive you", on the other hand I've needed a lot of forgiveness for the things I've done to others.

But you've stated many times that you don't share personal information.

Make up your mind.

You're a curious fellow. Now that I know you're East Indian, and the few I've met were quite friendly and polite, but you're not.

There are many whose forgiveness is utterly incredible, and when I think about them, I'm going to be quiet.
Thanks for the story but, if you don’t mind me saying, it would be even more interesting to hear you respond to vivify's OP invitation.

I dont share personal information when idiots like you and other Christians demand that I do. My mind is made up. Do you get the impression im faltering? I know a few blacks that are quite friendly and polite but you are not.

Please don't share any of your personal information with me. I'm not remotely interested in your life.

In fact you're quite boring. I only reply to you for your amusement.

You seem to be saying 'Don't share personal information... but if you do, I am going to treat it as something for my personal entertainment.' That casts a pretty poor light on your character, josephw.

You don't need to worry, I'm not black, friendly or too polite.

I don't, never have nor will I ever "demand" that you share personal information.

You're confused.
