How We Treat Each Other

We are how we treat each other and nothing more.

 It always puzzles me how folks who claim to be so tolerant and open minded are downright mean when something goes against their beliefs.  Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes first, then see if you feel the same way.

We are how we treat each other, and nothing more. The hate and the lies, jealousy, competitiveness, fighting, unwillingness to support or understand one another and pettiness is getting of control!!

We are how we treat each other and nothing more. The lack of love, lack of knowledge and people’s inability to think for themselves is astounding. People’s lack of respect for one another makes my heart ache. Everyone has a right to live how they see fit. God gave us freedom to think for ourselves. It is up to you whether you accept that or not. Don’t like it? Move on. You will find others who think like you so live there, in that space… if that is all you can handle and stay away from the  place where you can’t love your fellow man.  If you won’t pray, for them, don’t pick at them.

We are how we treat each other and nothing more.   Treating others like garbage does not win you any favors from those with whom you disagree, it makes you the exact same as those you hate. Can’t you see that? Is it self-hatred  that causes so much indifference and ignorance. Hatred spreads more hatred. Lies perpetuate more lies.  Half-truths keep you from moving forward.

We are how we treat each and nothing more.

Too much violence, too many babies going to bed hungry, women being beaten, men sleeping on the streets.

Mourning and weeping all over the world form suffering.  

Am I alone in my thinking? Does anyone else understand? I am blessed, I have a good life. But sometimes it is hard for me to sleep at night knowing what others endure while I lie in my bed, comfortable and warm.  It’s hard to find peace sometimes.

 So I go to the one in control He knows how I feel, because he has felt the pain of human indifference and hatred.

He says: Be humble, be still, wait for me. I am coming.

Jesus never forced anyone to follow him. He invites everyone in…it is your choice to follow or not.  But please don’t’ twist his words. Don’t mock someone you know little about. Listen to your heart in the stillness.

We are how we treat each other and nothing more.
