Do I Have to Love Everyone?
Dear Michael,
I know you have told us, and shown us, that we are all one, that all of us are beautiful and perfect on the inside. It just seems as though some people have that little spark of perfection very well hidden under layers of nastiness and unkindness. It is hard for me to remember that they are worthy of love no matter what their actions and words may be. There are some people who I don't like at all!
I am wondering what, exactly, is my job. Do I need to pretend to like them? Do I need to point out where they need to change? Is it ok to let people be nasty and mean? Should I avoid them and not even admit to myself that I feel this way? (This is what I usually seem to do in these situations) I really want to be a kind and loving person, I want everyone to like me, I want everyone to understand when I tell them my point of view. I want to stop judging others. I want to love everyone, the way you did, and do.
What is really bothering me is the way I feel when I am around people like this. I start to feel terrible, I lose my connection to you. My thoughts race with imagined conversations I want to have with these people and all the ways that they are wrong and I am right. It's not good, but I don't know what to do instead. Then it takes me a while to get back to the Bliss I have become accustomed to living in since you came into my life. How can I help others without going to where they are? Is it my responsibility to try to change anyone else?
I will wait for you to show me the answers to my questions. You always do, in the most perfect way.
