“I just don’t understand them!” you say of another person or a group.  That is because you are standing firmly in the role you have chosen.  It matters not if you were not raised as they were.  You are all human.  You have the gift of imagination.  Use it, please, to imagine the scenarios that would cause another to act as they do.  Understand that pain causes humans to act less than lovingly and to make unhealthy choices.  When have you felt pain?  When have you lashed out or made less than loving choices?  Is there one among you who has not cast a stone in pain?  Imagine.  Yes, step into their role.  Better yet, rise above the stage to the rafters and shine a spotlight on all of you.  Actors are you all.  Some of you have learned compassion quite well.  Others have yet to remember you are actors.  You are so very loved.  You cannot not be loved.  Please set your hurt aside and love.
