That is why I can't agree with some of this meditation. Criticizing someone in order to change them does not seem to work for me. So I try not to do it, even though I fail especially with the people I love the most! But trying to get into another person's skin and feel what they feel, try to think the way they think and THEN try to dialogue with them works! It just seems that I can't even get to the dialogue part of it.<br /><br />Why do we keep going in cycles?<br /><br />I tolerate experiences, but I do still love the people. There is a big difference - if only we could dialogue.<br /><br />A 12 yr old girl, dying from cancer said: somebody somewhere is waiting to love you and somebody somewhere is waiting for your love. In the end, this is what I think Christianity is all about.... if Love is understood in the right way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-90092281490265629972014-10-26T23:19:42.478-05:002014-10-26T23:19:42.478-05:00No one, except God, can look into people's hea...No one, except God, can look into people's hearts and see what dwells within them. <br /><br />I have had personal experiences with people who think they know me and my intentions, but they haven't a clue!! They take so much of what I say and twist it to fit their intetpretation. It's so very frustrating!! Why would anyone want to be friends with me anyway if I treated them the way they said I did?<br /> <br />Yes, I do tolerate misunderstandings, arguments and differing viewpoints because that is the only way I can grow....through other people and circumstances. Its very frustrating when others can't see even a little bit of what I am living for even after I have shared so much, but I guess that's my problem not theirs.<br /><br />Interesting meditation.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
