I can't make threads because my account is new. It would also be hard to know where to begin or stop. This is as best as I could do for now. I don't really want to complicate it or make it hard to read, require special knowledge to understand or learn a new 'language' in order to grasp it. I've developed my own 'language' as best as I can but it's shitty and ignorant really. Others have already said it better.

but at the same time, expressing it is what we are called to do. We have to accept our imperfections and limitations.. We are not 'bad' simply because we can't express it perfectly. For a long time I would feel immense guilt whenever I tried to express it, because I knew i was 'messing up' and saying 'unwise' things. It sort of drove me to refine it to a 'simpler' approach. I'm still working towards simpler and better ways, it's a process. We're all doing our best :)

What I can do is make sure that all my words and actions are guided by compassion so that the light of truth may shine forth from them.

This is what we can all do. We can love each other, as we ourselves are loved. We can treat each other with honesty, fairness and kindness. I mean I didn't come up with that it's been said countless ways but now I see for the first time.

and somehow, ultimately, it means turning the other cheek and loving even those that hate us. Yes, even our enemies and the great armies of darkness.

I'm not at a point where I can 'accept' that, these people are wicked, 'evil'

and yet at some level, simply ignorant. Misguided.

It is not for me to forgive them, at this time, because I am not Jesus and I am not perfect. The compassion i feel is not the 'full' 'complete' perfect compassion. My heart is not perfectly pure. This is the process we undergo, this is 'through a glass, darkly, but then in full.
