Friend Linda,
You have a wonderful profile.
You live on planet earth, love people and occupation - really?
It shows you to be a lively and lovely person.
Whatever you do is your karma. None can stop you from doing what you would like.
However, one is free to leave friends, foes, family etc. BUT can you leave life on your own? One cannot even sleep unless it comes forget death.
Have been on this forum for sometime now to understand most of the regulars. Yes, their may be arguments and someone trying too hard to prove his/her point but that is life. Everyday, everywhere we confront such situations but eventually we those who are full of life, win them slowly and surely by love. Love is one quality that none can reject for long. personally have always tried to understand each one personally as try to put myself in his/her shoes and then place what personally have experience about, accept what am ignorant about for am here to be in touch with people who are equally interested in enlightenment and help me be conscious/aware to be in focus rightly or wrongly, makes no difference.
Friend Linda, do try and understand the message and then do as your karma wants.
Will always be there when you want me.
Love & rgds
