Like many of you, I've had so much on my mind lately. I have several blog posts upcoming that will express more of what I'm feeling. But I wanted to share this quick bit with you.
If we only pursue our own certainty and confirmation of our current way...
If we only listen to the stories of people who are like us...
If we only seek to debate "the others" and don't really listen to them...
If we gather in our tribes and seek opponents instead of allies...
If we dismiss, diminish, deny, or invalidate the pain of others...
If we avoid the things that make us uncomfortable or that are painful...
If we don't question ourselves deeply, our motives, our hearts, our privileged lives...
Then we will never grow, and we will never love more deeply, and we will spread even more pain in this pain stricken world.
