How to let go and love EVERYONE

i agree with sam, people lots of times mistake loving a person with just tolerating someone, they are two very different things

 

There are limits you know. I wouldn't love the murderer of my family because they abused life in the ultimate way. And just to clear it all up I never said I loved the war on Iraq. I hope you understood what I was saying when I mentioned that in my other post.

 

I don't want to love everyone.

 

I've seen and read shit about how family's of murder victims take the time to get to know their loved one's killer, and claim that it helps with the healing process. I guess getting to know the killer and realizing that they're an average human being might help or something.......personally, I couldn't do it.

 

I am here for you.

 

The challenge is that to love all, loving one's self is required. Easier said than done. The closer to loving our self, with all our warts, loving others is easier. nameste.

 

i agree. there is a difference between love and tolerance. I will strive towards love, but an absence of hate would be great too... i'd definatly settle for that.
My view is that I am a human being. I am flawed, but I am also a miracle. So I'm glad for the love I feel, it's an achievement (if that's the right word). The more I learn to see that same truth in other people, the more I am capable of respecting them.
re: "hating" people (example I will use, is Bush, everyone can relate or understand, etc) - while I don't agree with many of his actions, any "hate" that they generate really does spawn from love. Love for either the people that I see him hurting, and for him. While I'm sure some people will say it's impossible, I do have love in my heart for all people... there isn't one who I genuinely hate (dispite what I may sometimes say in the passion of a moment) and thus I want them to be able to feel peace in their heart. I really can't imagine that GW Bush does, and that fact makes me feel badly for him.
I remember hearing someone say that no one is bad/evil/etc. They're just misinformed. That's why they do things that may be construed as bad/evil/etc.
Don't really know how I feel about that one. While I like the idea, I haven't really given it quite enough thought to go either way on it. Just thought I'd throw the idea in.

peace

 

Damn straight.

 

I think the best place to look for this answer is inside yourself. You can only get so much from outside.

 

People are silly. They think to love everyone, they have to be your BEST FRIEND.
I love everyone.
Every one of my brothers and sisters deserve love and respect from me since we are all part of the same cosmic line.
Now, some of these people, I might rather not be associated with, but I love them none the less...

Ya dig?

 

well put nathan. I totally agree.

 

Groovy!
I love you Lyla!
