Is there’s something in my image you disagree with, you may be tempted to unfollow me or judge.
In today’s society, the ‘black or white’ or the ‘you’re in my camp or you’re not in my camp’ has become the norm, and what we’ve learned to do is disengage or separate from what we perceive is the opposite to us.
Healthy debate is rare these days. Disagreement without trying to understand is common. Not listening and becoming defensive is common.
Often, what we don’t like, disagree with or what makes us uncomfortable, we usually go into fight or flight.
Now, I get that with some of the radical, often extreme views and actions that are harming others and affecting us in an unkind or sometimes destructive way.
My invitation to us all, including myself when my auto reaction is to judge, fight or withdraw, is to hear others.
Acceptance does not mean to like something. We can dislike and disagree with something or someone and still offer acceptance. Try it. It’s challenging though. See what happens.
There’s enough division, separation, and isolation in the world today. Let’s see if we can close this a little and have more connection.
Of course, there are other times where our values, morals and ethics are too important, that we do have to walk away, and I get that. It is important to make that decision.
Anyway, without blethering on too much, this is another post to introduce me and what’s important to me.
