I am assuming that you would want to reach them to help them because they are hurting? so they can grow for the better?
just so they can feel happiness too...suffering sucks...sometimes we dont know how to remove ourselves from it...i am guilty of this often...as i said, i am only human... their growth is their growth. i dont claim being a healer
absolutely..when you try to show someone how much of a scumbag theyre being..from wa place of love & compassion instead of ghatred & anger., it can make a huge difference..
I wasnt accusing you of claiming to be a healer, my point is this however. If you want to reach out to a "scum bag" so they can feel happiness and possibly grow wouldnt that be not "accepting them as they are" which is your definition of love in the first place?
i dont believe you, your post for example directed at sininabin in his rape discussion thread was directed from a place of anger and hatred. I didnt blame you for this (even though myself along with others were trying to be as honest and direct as possible with out resorting to anger for the sake of the girl he was talking about) but i have a hard time believing that you would react any better in a real life situation...
well..in this case.. i suppose i reacted more from a place os love & compassion not for him, but for the young girl who he'd planned on raping..even though i don't have a clue who she was.. & yes i spoke with anger..yet not hatred.. love isnt an emotion its a condtion of being, & can make other emotions..like anger more intence.. my anger was born from love..& the hopes that my anger would shake him up..make him see just how he would hurt her.i hoped by caring enough to really try to show him how hed affect her..& himself..he'd grow & heal..& isnt the most loving thing you can do for someone whos sick to try to help them heal? sometimes that takes a loud angry voice..sometimes it takesa gentle persuasion..but caring enough to try is what lovesabout right? if i didnt care i would have just read it said this guys fucked..why even bother replying..right?
I never said you didnt care i just said that your reply was from a place of anger and hatred. so much for approaching "scum" from a place of love and compassion hey? Anyway if you really cared about the girl more then your own emotions you would have kept your temper in check, it didnt help... Soaring Eagle you talk about loving strangers and those in the world who are "scum" but i think in all honesty you don't, i think you are in love with love and nothing more.
hmmmmm...... what do I want to say, ok here goes....I love...love I love that some people love to say love but its meaning doesn't apply to everything... true love, real love or what have you is very special and not to try to take away from the joys of using the word love it should also be kept true to form... I luv alot of things ....but only truely LOVE a few oh forget it I think I am just boshing this all up grrrrr....
