I kind of get where you’re coming from. Sometimes it’s hard not to get angry or be mean when others aren’t treating you with respect.
Exactly. Also when people are cruel or do horrible things, for example the terrorism in Paris and the display of hatred from the people who carried out those acts. For the people that suffered first hand, it is a struggle not to hate everyone that is affiliated or even loosely connected with it (whether by cultural roots, relatives, associates, religious affiliation) or think of retaliating in kind or go for an all out war. However, in general, even when it is not that extreme, it really takes courage and will power to love in spite of cruelty or betrayal or loving someone that doesn’t deserve it. If the person is even too wretched to be around, sometimes you have to love them from a distant or give them tough love…but its love just the same and it frees you in the process.
I agree. I hate how certain groups are hated just because one section or some people from that group chose to be cruel. Blaming a whole religious group or culture just because there are a few “bad apples” so to speak is what starts racism in the first place!
Love is not always easy, i really get this because i too am looking for the courage to love again those I do not find easy to love…Thanks for this and stay blessed
Yes my dear…go deep and push forward and you are bound to find some love to give, even to most the undeserving. For we love not because we have to…but because we have the power to and choose to do so. However, remember in loving…you need to (always) focus on loving yourself first. This will let you know if it is worth loving that person up, close and personal or it is more self-loving to keep your distance and love them from a far. All the best with your journey**** 🙂
Thanks so much, keep inspiring
