Accepting Others As They Are
One thing we all sorely need to work on, is the ability to
accept others as they are, and not as we perceive they should
be. Nothing can be more hurtful, then not living up to the
expectations of what others think we should (but are not),
and being punished and/or rejected for it. Every living
thing on this planet should have the right to exist and be
as their own soul dictates, as long as that existence does
not include physically or mentally harming any other living
things.
As most sentient beings are not cranked out on an assembly
line, it's reasonable to assume there is unlikely
to be 2 that are exactly alike in every respect. No one is
going to be an exact match for our own perception of things.
Thereby rather then prosecuting those who do not live up
to our own personal standards, perhaps it might be better
to keep an open mind. In doing so we may actually learn something,
even about ourselves we did not realize before!?
