Greetings Dear Reader,
As I read through my differing media sources I consider the volume
of hatred that is spewed across it. It
is difficult to find honest news sources.
If you think any of the mainstream ones are not biased you might wish to
look a little deeper.
It is not wrong for us to discuss the issues of the day in
our social media. It is not the place to
spill our vitriol and hatred. It takes
so very much energy to hate. It also
solves nothing. I have friends that I
love dearly whom I see screaming their hatred for this or that person or issue. It saddens me to see their precious energy spent
on this instead of the great good they can and often do in the world.
The true application for me is to never hate anyone for any
reason. It is not my place to judge, condemn,
or revile anyone. I will disagree politely
when I think differently. I will not
engage in anger and hatred. Disagreement
does not equal hatred, prejudice, or a phobia.
Holding the position that it does is neither honest nor tolerant.
Whether you consider your position to be right or left it is
never tolerant to hate. It is never a
signal that I am correct when I choose anger or hatred over love and
compassion. Christ reserved his anger
for those who believed they had the high ground and used it to look down on
others.
Only through loving humility can I hope to reflect what is
true. I will speak what I believe to be
true but I will strive to do so with love and compassion. I will hope always to assure that as I examine
my own life that I can weed out anything that is not a reflection of the love
of Christ. Next up will be an issue that
I have addressed briefly in the past. I
feel the need to fight off anger in it.
I hope you join me Dear Reader.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
