		<description>Hi Gloria, once again, thank you so much for your wonderful comments.

Yup, the comment got me shocked for a while. One of my observation is that nowadays people are much more comfortable sharing about themselves. 
Through blogging, I also find a lot of people who are passionate on personal development, a topic I have been very much interested on.
And your last statement, thank you so much for that... that is a great attitude, you're giving the benefit of the doubts, and I believe it is very useful.

Thanks,
Robert</description>

		<description>Hello Robert,

I'm sure you were surprised at your friend's reaction. Interesting.

It is amazing, how many people still don't believe in the power of the energy we give out as we write a blog, respond with a comment, respond to a comment and any other form of the written word or spoken word that is not face-to-face.

The intent of our communication spreads an energy of positivity or negativity, of a caring intent or of a non-caring intent, and so on.

How we write is just as inportant as what we write.

I agree with Nick that we make wonderful friendships on the net.

Online is no different from offline with respect to people we want to associate with and people we prefer to have just a fleeting association.

Certainly, with offline liaisons, we have the advantage of non-verbal cues, which offer transparency of behaviour, but even so, caution is oftimes required as people become adept in concealing their true intentions.

Personally, I believe in the goodness of everyone, and I have a choice as to whether I continue a relationship or not.

As usual Robert, great stuff.

Cheers,

		<description>Hi Robert,

I think we agree in how to use Maslow's 'hierarchy'.

		<description>Hi Nick, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I'm interested in knowing the Socrates' dialogue, please do share if you have any link.

Once again, thanks a lot!

		<description>Hi Robert,

What a beautiful and sharing article. I would never of thought of using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in that way. Excellenent. I found your comments about friends you meet on the internet very interesting. I have found many deep personal relationships on line. I know if I were to ever meet these people we would be great friends and have alot to say to each other. That we have not physically met means very little to me. I know people turn up their noses at such a things but that is their consideration not mine. I am reminded of Socrates' Dialogue on Friendship when he repeatedly asks, "What is Friendship" and each time he gets an answer he refutes it. Friendship just "is" it cannot be quantified by naming or defining it.

Keep up the great work.

Nick
