What We Fear Persists & when we Seek to Understand the things, ideas, beliefs & people that we fear or resist- We Become Better Humans!

When you are filled with hate, you never will understand people because to understand it requires empathy.

Another hot topic to me is love, forgiveness, and an appreciation for the uniqueness that people bring. I offer a question for everybody listening to consider. Do you want to live in a world where everybody is the same? People think the same, behave the same, and look the same?

I was thinking about this recently and it dawned on me that we don’t fight fire with fire. Hate will almost always lose with clear rational thought. Rational thought requires communication that is void from feelings. Hatred is told through emotions. Emotions aren’t facts and can be easily discredited.

Genuine power, as we will define, is the ability to hold true to our values, morals, and passions without the need for others approval and find a happiness, freedom, and self-respect that nobody can take away.

This type of power requires that I live in reality, the real world. The real world says that I can’t change anybody’s values, morals, and passions and by me attempting to do that, I will lose happiness, freedom, and self-respect.

If I am genuinely happy, secure, and in control of my emotions; I will never inflict abuse, harm or fear on someone as this will contradict that genuine power that I control because I would be doing it to gain something through fear that I couldn’t provide for myself.

If you are angry, vengeful, hateful, close minded and unwilling to take control of yourself; you will never understand this concept of personal power. Racism gives power to those that you hate as they will control your feelings and actions.

Many religions work to recruit but fail to understand the principle behind appeal. Is God love? Does God hate? Does God want bloodshed or comradery? Maybe, since God created all, He wants us to come together and learn about tolerance, patience, and forgiveness because if you believe in God, that is what God is if you think about it.
