Quote of the Day #145: Don't Hate What You Don't Understand!
An open mind is a huge asset!
Many people have a tendency to either write off or dismiss that which they don’t understand, some even get that wave of hate flowing through them if they are having a difficult time comprehending something. Hate is the thing that should never be invited into your personal space when there is a lack of understanding, it only makes matters worse in every possible way.
The solution to avoiding an uncomfortable and hateful situation when being shown or introduced to something new is to just open your mind to the possibilities that you don’t know everything nor could you. The simple act of allowing an unknown variable to permeate your mind and giving it a chance to earn your understanding is a power that few operate on, but one that we all possess.
An approach to embrace is to face the world with your eyes wide open, be amazed at it’s wonder and accepting of all that you experience. The good and bad show their hands, as well as the known and unknown, be receptive to what meanings may hide in plain sight and just beyond it. Your journey is one of discovery, don’t fail yourself with a closed mind from the get go.

So true @sandstorm, up to your usual great standard!
I appreciate that @lakshmi :)
True, keep our learning mind on all the time. It is normal to feel uncomfortable to step on an unknown territory but the world is so big and there are so many places and knowledge that we will never touch. Embrace them and enjoy them :)
You got it dialed in @kimzwarch :)
thanks for the nice daily quote too!
Nice quote. My version:
"Don't hate the player. Hate the game."
Don't take it out on others yo. ASK so you can understand instead. Thanks @sandstorm
That is as valid a version as any @aldentan :)
This is so true!
When we face an unknown territory we fast want to protect yourself becauseit'ss something within us. We don't know it so its dangerous for me. I have to protect myself or also others. We need to trust our discernment after we hear something new we can always make our decsison to take or avoid it.
I agree with that @modernpastor. Wise words.
Great :)
