Wonderful... Now try and have a living and being that expresses this lack of expectation in others ability/capacity.

Last I saw... People were not imprisoned by any LCM... So what then is the true reality of the things you have referenced as being the source of your problem (which, BTW, are really not the source of your problem... But that's for a different thread)... What really keeps people holding to what you see as being that which controls "...membership in an abusive way..."?

Has anyone tried to barter these things that you "...still appreciate and enjoy..." that you "...got from the LCM..." for your ignoring/disregarding/excusing/making up for "...the grievous errors of abuse that checker the LCM's history"?
At the beginning of your comment you say that you know that no one is perfect... And that your expectations of people reflect this... But at the end you bring in what seems like a limitation to what you first said... Do you hold to some sort of line regarding your lack of expectations of imperfect people... In your thinking, are imperfect people only imperfect in certain things, but should be/are perfect in other things?... What exactly are you saying regarding your expectations of imperfect people?
