[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it bears pondering why this would irritate you so badly when it's a simple and actually quite beautiful message.[/quote]

OP here, the irony is not lost on me that by giving this poster more than a passing thought and arguing against its message, I'm doing exactly what the poster advocates against. I guess it irritates me because life situations are complex and that we need to use both left and right halves of our brain to make good life choices. Both emotion and logic have their place and we should not misguide the formative years of our kids with confusing messages. I would similarly argue against a poster that proclaimed being right is more important than being kind.

I know the message is intended to be simple and beautiful, but it is plainly wrong and does not reflect how humans actually behave in polite society. [/quote]

Having a special needs child or a disability might put this in a totally different context for you.  Since disability is part of the human life cycle, I daresay one day you will understand and appreciate this message.  I'm not trying to be nasty.  I just think you are not ready for this message.[/quote]
