A Loving Person – updated 2017
I don’t pretend to speak for those living in crime ridden streets, poverty infested countries or hatred filled societies, but in middle class America, this is true.
You see what you expect to see. The tragedy is in those who think they are looking at the one and only reality. Some fear acknowledging a loving world exists because it would mean they have to show trust and love themselves, something that could lead to disappointment and hurt. Others fear acknowledging a hostile world exists because hostility leads down a path of anger and destruction in their mind and they have to much at stake to go down that road.
Both fears have validity but it is forgotten that acknowledging something exists doesn’t indulging and approving of that same thing. Take your time, love one thing or allow that one person’s grievance has some truth. See where that goes.
