I was reading a post and this leaped into my thoughts. That one other good thing, aside from others, mylot has brought me is the re-awakening of my curiosity for concepts posted here and I have encountered before but never fully understood. My search for these concepts has either changed my understanding of the concept, introduced new ones, added more info to what I already know, or debunked what I knew.
I smiled at the thought perhaps because I did not fully realize this value mylot brought to me but only recently highlighted by a post and I just took it for granted.
Just sharing but your thoughts and sharing are highly appreciated.

i agree with you, figurativeme. i often learn many things from the the variety of posts members make every day. some are inspiring, insightful, and i find the different views and perspectives from such a global community very interesting. a valuable platform for sharing views, opinions, knowledge, and information such as mylot can bring diverse cultures and build more understanding and friendships from everywhere. no wonder i never fail to login regularly . whether or not i make a post or comment, i enjoy every minute i'm here. there's so much to learn and enjoy.

Hi zapatee. True, So much to learn and to think that we are able to cut across geographic and cultural boundaries and stay in touch through mylot. You never quite know what you read when I log in.
Thanks for your response.

This site is more than just a venue for social networking and money making. It is above all, a place where we are able to joyfully share our thoughts, sentiments and aspirations (sometimes frustrations and disappointments)in life and learn others' thoughts, sentiments and aspirations in return. Through it, we are given the opportunity to grow as a human person as we learn how to understand and be patient with each other. Definitely, we differ in a lot of views, but they should not divide us nor build walls between us.
It is good to hear you admit that you are learning some meaningful realizations from myLot through the members' responses. Take care.

Personally I can guarantee that you are far from the only one who ever discovers that. Many times it can take a person a little while to see this, and be one of the many reasons a person would enjoy coming here, but at the same time once you figure out this, it makes you want to run back in here as time permits for sure. Glad to see that you have found out this, and have learned you can learn so many things about someone, and something for sure.

So true KaruseHome. Though I am slow, every chance I have I log in here and enjoy my time here. And you are right on learning about someone and not only about something. People are truly interesting. And it is interesting getting to know people through their posts even if you don't meet them personally. Makes me want to, though.
Thanks for your response.

I totally agree and enjoy other's points of view. Many times when I read the responses i have to return to the discussion and reread it to see their point.

Quite interesting really, savypat. It is different in face to face discussions where discussion is limited to the topic on hand. But here there is quite a wide range of choice that you miss in your day to day life. Here, you can jump from one to the other and keep your brain alive.

Yeah, just reading discussions here can give you certain kinds of realizations on different levels. I find it useful because sometimes we forget about certain things we should be realizing. MyLot indeed is informative in different areas of our life that's why it's one of the reasons I always go back here.

True frontvisions. I have made a few realizations here and each time I smile. It is like smiling to a friend or friends right there in front of you.
Thanks for your sharing.

I agree that this looks like a place to learn a lot of new ideas and opinions from all around the globe and that could really cxhange one's concept of things.

True meryembay. There are aspects in concepts that you did not see nor consider before but brought to light by a mylotter. You get to think about it and weigh it out. It happens to me here.
Thanks for your response.

I also appreciate the thoughts and sharing that occurs here in mylot. The opportunities we all have her to share our knowledge and to enhance our understandings of the world we live in. The thought of having intellectual discussions with people from all over the world continues to facinate me and keeps me logging in every chance I get. Thank you all

I agree, I've enjoyed the conversations in the small amount of time that I've been year. I also love yahoo answers, you don't get paid for that though.

That's awesome! It's also good to know that this site isn't just a bunch of fluff. A lot of time the comments on articles online kind of make you wonder just what exactly is going on with the world!
