“I’ve seen Pro-Choice, Pro-Life, Conservative, Liberal, theist, non-theist, Republican, and Democrat at odds with all manner of quite frank, hate filled dialogue.
Jesus said, “Love thy neighbor.”
This means loving or at least having respect and tolerance for those anti ethical to our own standards, values, norms, mores and ideals.
Can we really love our enemies as Jesus said?
It should be amended show Agape Compassion for others or if they are anti-ethical to what you hold and believe to at least show them common courtesy.
Never disrespect yourself by lowering yourself to the level of those without conscious. Love those who are anti-ethical to what we stand for, no. But It is possible to be objective and not let one’s emotions run away.
It is possible to afford others a respectful attitude even if ultimately through law finding them responsible and thus accountable.
I got news for you. For those of you who only love and give your respect for those who think alike, you are not living the truth.
Only when we cultivate tolerance, open minded, respect for other peoples beliefs, and seek to understand another’s point of view through respectful non-negative dialogue can true beneficial change in society occur.” LightSun
We are prisoners of our own thoughts, and our belief system. We all are a product of our times. We process all the societal, parental, and peer expectations, norms and notes into our belief system.
They all form a part of what is referred to as cognitive schema. People project their version of reality unto others. Real and external reality is the projection screen like in a movie theater.
We unconsciously and unknowingly project unto others our subjective values and ideals.
Ultimately what is inside is manifest outside.
That means if your soul, mind and heart is pure you keep a positive or at least an objective realism.
Those that are negative only project the phantoms of their own unresolved issues, unconscious conflicts, emotional baggage and unhealed aspects of a psychic wound.
They may fool themselves that that have self righteous indignity and have a right to be negative and disparaging.
They are triggered. There may be aspects of a real concern. But it is masked by cognitive distortions in the thought process.
This truth is camouflaged from the person spewing their pollution of unresolved issues unto others and reality.
I am responsible for my thoughts, feelings, speech, writing and actions. No one can force us to be negative.
Those who are negative are triggered. They blame the situation, reality or people for their emotions.” LightSun
