RE: What does it take to Challenge our own Blind faith and Belief systems?
I honestly feel that people live in different paradigms, where what is true for one in their paradigm can be paradoxical to what is true to another in their paradigm. And the divisions just keep growing larger and stronger until we are splintered into totally different realities. I choose a more beautiful, engaged, tolerant world. I understand my privilege and luck allow me to do so and recognize that others are not so lucky. What reality brings those in the other paradigm to where they are? Can we have compassion, love and acceptance for those on the other side of the divide?
That's wonderfully articulated @belleamie. Love and compassion for those on other side will help them break down the walls they have around them
Thanks. Not always easy, but I am finding that with family and friends having patience pays dividends. Your family may not be ready to jump paradigms, but might meet you part way if you choose love and acceptance including flaws rather than making an ultimatum that they meet you where you are.
