Interesting quote here that can be interpreted and used to IDENTIFY EVIL ON BOTH SIDES.

Instead of Good vs Evil........ it's Evil vs Evil in some cases!

Putin is clearly evil but the biggest problem is  OUR evil(NATO +Military-Industrial-Political-Media complex).

Hamas is clearly evil but the biggest problem is OUR evil (Netanyahu/Israel +Military-Industrial-Political-Media complex +Islamaphobic Don).

Correcting errors and/or flawed thinking ASAP should be the #1 priority for every thinking person. It's at those exact TURNING POINTS, when we flip the learning scale. From processing information that causes us to keep getting dumber to processing information that now contributes to an authentic understanding and discernment......that we can build on instead of the dead end street of using information to justify flawed thinking. This is how people GROW. Reinforcing what we think we know is just regurgitating and ingesting the same information in different forms.

What's worse........... attacking a guilty person with political bias because he's from the other party and you want to hold them accountable or defending a guilty person because he's from your party and you want them to be innocent?

            Nobody can make us hate or love them.

in most cases, we give them what we feel they deserve based on our perception of their behavior or what they represent to us.

We have the power to consciously decide to give people more of our love than what they deserve.

The cool thing is that it’s not like giving money or giving things that require time.

Those things are limited and run out.

It’s the complete opposite with love. Not only is the supply unlimited but the more of it we give, the more love grows, not shrinks inside of us.

Adding to that even more is the increase of love that we get back from our gift of love to others.

It’s easy and natural to love a lovable person. Everybody can do this and it’s a great thing.

Loving an unlovable person is a bit much if that person doesn’t deserve it. In that case, at least don’t hate them…..even when they give you good reason to hate them.

Hatred for SOME  people in your heart will go a long  way towards cancelling out the benefits of having love for OTHER people.


.......oh yeah!
