evil destroys even itself
hatred cannot exist in the face of God's love
everytime we remember that God loves everyone, our need to dislike someone or feel right in our ego's self-righteousness ceases its intensity.
it's as if we get suspended between this immense unconditional love and the need to defend ourselves against a so called "external attack".
I feel this is very humbling at times...
it helps to see clearly my own feelings and that of the others, harmonizing myself and not digging myself up in the trap of judgement.
how can I judge that person for breaking boundaries when I too learn through mistakes? how can I judge at all when the One whose judgment is Supreme sees right through it all, right in the heart of every human and its nuances.
how can I judge a situation, thinking it's adverse if it may as well be blessing me with something I have yet to see come to life?
therefore faith strengthens us in ways we cannot know and we don't have to know; there is freedom in simply experiencing life from our hearts, who have access to the Heart of God's Wisdom.
once we know all destruction is self destruction, how can we choose anything else than god's love? how hard it seems to spend time dreading someone. as Aristotle said: "evil destroys even itself". (and I find real it funny, the fact that I was thinking about this concept and managed to re-discover Aristotle's quote).
yes, of course we can walk away but engage in battle? ruminate on it or keeping its weight on our shoulders? what good can it do?
maybe all they're doing is teach you a wisdom whose quality is yet unknown taste to your mind. neutralize whatever alarm is going off within you, the rest will follow spontaneously. if that isn't enough, you've got to look deeper, maybe you find out that there is no enemy and the battle was always against your own self and the wound that never healed, the version of you that longed to be seen, the part of you that needed to be expressed, the version of you who didn't feel loved. Love yourself now.
