We live in a world with a near 7 billion people. That is 7 billion opinions and personal views on life. Why are we still arguing about who is right and who is wrong. Why are we still trying to enforce our own opinions and views on other people as their own and if these beliefs are not accepted, then we immediately condemn and scold for betrayal. But don't anyone dare to enforce their opinions and beliefs on you. Right? It sound ridiculous doesn't it?
When are we going to evolve as a species and society? When will people stop wasting their time and the time of others with their arguing and complaining. We all need to work together to do what is best for the greater good as a planet and species. We Do Not need to be arguing about religious beliefs, political views, the way we parent and raise our children or whether or not the chicken or the egg came first.
No matter how you feel about what is right or wrong, there will always be someone to challenge your belief. There will always be someone to think that murder, abuse and molestation isn't wrong, regardless of how obviously wrong it is. There will always be someone to believe differently. It is madness trying to rationalize with some people and there will always be people like that. The point is that as a society we will never ever ever believe all ONE WAY. We just won't. So why do people waste their own time fighting, arguing and condemning others about how they believe. You are only wasting your own time. No one Else's. It is really for our own individual benefit that we learn to accept other people for who they are and accept that other people simply won't believe or do thing the way that you do.
We are fighting an endless battle when we argue about how we should believe and do things. It goes back to childhood and I am sure your mother told you this at least once, "treat people how you want to be treated." How we have not figured this out by adulthood is beyond me. If you don't want someone telling you what to do, how to believe and how to live your life, then why would you try to impose that on someone else. I know that I believe the way I feel in my heart and I would never want someone telling me that I couldn't believe the way that I want too. Therefore, I would never judge you for how you believe. By all means, if you want to worship a tree, then who am I to judge you? You do what you have to do to get through your journey. It has nothing to do with me. It doesn't affect me. That is your choice. So why do people feel like they have to control everyone?
Control. That is what it boils down too. To control people is the lowest form of abuse there is. The only thing that you should try to control is yourself. We all need to learn how to control our thoughts and stop trying to control everyone Else's. The older I get the more understanding and compassionate I have become towards others. The more I want peace. The more I work on myself and learn and grow, the less I care about the actions of others or trying to control others. It is completely crazy, unreasonable, irrational chaos to think that we can make everyone believe one way or think one way. When we can all come to terms with the FACT that we will never all believe the same way, the sooner we will come as close as we possibly can to Peace. That is what makes us all different and unique. Our ability to think for ourselves is what sets us apart from every other living thing on this planet.
In the big picture does it really matter that people don't believe like you? Do you really really care? Or are you just angry that you are not in control? The next time you get mad or angry and feel like judging and being nasty, ask yourself, "why am I even mad. Is it because I am not in control?" When you learn to watch what you think and take control of your mind instead of letting your mind control you, you will begin to really grow and see how ridiculous your behavior has been. I know because I have always struggled with judging and I was a control freak. I am learning to let go. When I see people get so angry over the most insignificant things, I have to laugh. That used to be me and now I can see how foolish I used to look and act. It is not worth it to fight and argue.
Next time you don't agree with someone try to put yourself in their shoes. Try to not judge. Accept it for what it is. Don't verbally abuse the mother that decides not to get her children vaccinated. It isn't any of your business or your problem. If you want to get your child vaccinated, then do it. Your child will be fine because you feel that vaccinations make you kid safer than the kids that aren't. So don't feel like you need to go the extra mile to condemn the other mothers who choose to raise their children the way they want. What if I told you vaccination were no longer an option and no one would be vaccinating their children. All the mothers who don't vaccinate will be jumping for joy and how will you feel? No one likes being on the other side of the equation but are quick to point fingers. Stop it. It is none of your business. It is not your place to judge. This applies to everything.
That is just one tiny example of the stuff we fight and argue about. Same sex marriages. It goes against what I personally believe but I would never judge you. To be honest I don't care. What you do is your business. What if everyone was with the same sex partner and it was illegal to marry the opposite sex? I would fight for my right to love who I wanted. Wouldn't you? Can we please just stop all of this fighting and arguing. It is madness.
We are a brilliant and strong species who can do anything we set our minds too. Look how far we have come in the past 200 years. We have evolved in leaps and bounds in just the past 30 years. We are above all this petty fighting. You live and believe the way you want and respect that every individual should have the same right. No matter what. We all have consequences for our actions and we all have to make our own choices and make this journey on our own. We are all doing the best we can. I watch people all the time, everywhere I go and sometimes people can be so mean and hateful. It usually comes from a place of hurt in their heart that they have been holding onto for so long and they take their pain out on others. But is isn't necessary. They need love more than anyone. Remember that everyone you meet is fighting their own battle and you have no idea what hurt they harbor inside of them. Show them love, kindness and compassion. Even if they don't accept, you will be out nothing. You will know that you did the right thing and when enough people show love to that individual they will begin to soften and learn that love is the answer. It works.
One day, we will figure it out. In the meantime can we all just stop wasting time and energy being mean and hateful. Just love. Be love. Extend love. Help others. Accept others. If each of us worked on ourselves and took control of our own minds and only offered love to one another, we would one by one make this world a little better. Just think about it. Make a conscious effort to only show love and not judge. You will quickly see how much better you feel about the world and yourself. Just imagine if we each took responsibility for ourselves and just did this one thing. I can see the difference in my life and I know the difference it would make in yours. I know it is easier said than done, but it starts with you and it starts with me.
Blessing to all
