And this is the beginning of my understanding!
I think it is so much easier, less
challenging, and takes so much less work to love a reflection of
ourselves. I know because I have
systematically removed people that are aggressively different from me
politically, however, in my own defense I do love having open intelligent
political conversations and debates, it was only when the discussion included debasing and humiliating others for not believing the same
way they do that I began resolutely deleting people and comments. I think loving my friends and family’s different
characteristics of beliefs is a wonderful thing, until and unless it creates
chaos and drama and begins impacting my own ability to achieve peace. I will never be able to love everyone, or
agree with them or fit them into “my reflection” nor will I fit in to theirs ….and
it is ok. I have not found my own reflection,
yet.
