Oh wait, they started before the bell went off. Well folks, we're off to one heavy and heated fight. Stay tuned...
Some days, it is hard to be silent. We are all that individual in the corner of the fighting ring it seems. It is almost as if each person has their boxing gloves on and no matter what, everyone else in the ring are the enemies.
There is no stopping to embrace the other person or listening to the other person. It is every man, woman, and child for themselves. This is how humanity appears these days. Our days are the fighting ring of life.
We speak how much we hate others...
We go to social media or we go to our friends and speak how much we hate and abhor the others that don't think like us. We go on TV or to the political pulpits and we exclaim how horrible those other people are. We sit in our church pews and listen to the minster puff our egos up while proclaiming those that don't believe like us, are to be avoided and shunned and talked down to. We make sure we post it on social media so everyone gets the message!
Often we are just adding to the hatred that is being said, rather than showing that true love and compassion exists in this world. When we get down in the mud pit, we can't expect to stand up clean. We will have mud all over our body too.
Don't engage in the hate. Instead show love and compassion. Show understanding without judgment. If you despise all that is said and yet you engage in it, what are you profiting from that? Are you any different than the ones you judge?
Yes, sometimes it is extremely difficult to stay silent and not engage with the loudmouths of our society. It just does little good and if you engage, you become that which you hate and despise the most.
