| The Beliefs We Used to Believe The quote above where someone criticized me and, in the opinion of some, actually threatened me, got a ton of views and comments on all my platforms. I get stuff like this every day. For the most part they're harmless. Once in a while, though, I get one that alarms me. Some people feel I'm being unfair and unhelpful by publicly shaming them. I don't think I am. Their comments were public. They gave their name. So I share it in public. I only give their first name. But maybe I should be more clear. I do not intend to shame or ridicule or mock them. Because, for me, it mostly reminds me of my own past's voice! This is how I may have thought many years ago. And, in fact, these voices still might be alive deep down in the depths of my being. Honestly, I have compassion for them. Not pity, but empathy. And sometimes they're just plain funny! It's okay for me to laugh at the stones that are thrown at me. Isn't it? Just the other day someone commented that they used to be my mortal enemy. But now that they're deconstructing, they get what I'm saying and they're my #1 fan. My perception that we are all one still stands. Including my naysayers and haters. I am one with them and they are one with me as well. This all gets subsumed into the totality of this unity and the All. I mean it. |
