I don't expect everyone to agree with me..As a matter of fact, You're right...to a point...but I disagree with you the rest of the way.
If we can't offer Unconditional love to everyone, equally...then we are no better than the lowest of us.
It's the truest of human beings that can offer love and hope to even the worst counterpart...It's what distinguishes us from animals.
Sometimes, it just takes believing in someone, to bring out the good in them.
Yes, of course, I understand this is not always the case..some people can't be saved..especially in EXTREME cases when people are so perverted and sadistic...and thrive on being that way. Some people are so far gone, there is no way to get through to them or bring out the good in their spirits. I understand some people love the darkness, they love being bad, and they love being who they are. I understand there's many who are not looking for hope, help, salvation, etc.......But there are others, who only need a bit of encouragement to sustain them and help them "see".. Sometimes, it takes a little love, faith, and support from an "outside" source...like giving someone a lil "nudge" in the right direction. I'm a firm believer of Good spreads Good and Love spreads Love..and vice versa...Like a ripple effect in the universe. If you throw a pebble in the water..you'll see a circular, round design going outward into the rest of the water (note.."what goes around comes around saying")...I feel that's how our actions react in the universe. They send out a ripple effect into the rest of space and time..If we send out a good ripple...It can have a positive impact on everything it comes in contact with..We send out hate, darkness, negative...that's the kind of ripple we'll create.
I mentioned there are others who ARE seeking the light...How many souls fall into this category of "others" is the big question. Is it my choice to play russian roulette with souls? We're all born a blank canvas, it's life that paints us into the person we become. Is it not the experiences we go through, the pain we endure, the love that breaks our heart, the trials and tribulations of life..is it not these very things that turns us into who we become as adults. I would love all newborn babies equally, without prejudice because they are still innocent to the ways of the world. They are free from corruption and have not been tarnished by man's wicked ways...Why is it when we grow up, we become "unloveable"..Why then do we become full of hate..full of torment, full or darkness? We're certainly NOT born that way. It's not until life paints the picture on our canvas that we become the person we are. We're all given a life..it's everything else around that influences us and shapes our outlook. I choose to see things in a positive light. That's my right the same you have the right not to believe.
I don't go out on the internet hunting down non-believers so I can judge them and cast "stones" at them...No, I live my life peacefully to myself, the way God showed us through Jesus Christ. The way I see it, all souls deserve a fair chance...Or should I say, they deserve to be given a fair chance...like all criminals deserve to be given a fair trial...whether they're guilty or not, law says we have to treat them fair like a human being and give them a fair and equal trial. Even to the worst of them, like Jeffrey Dahmer...Did the law give one criminal a better trial based on the amount of "goodness" or "badness" he already possessed or the actions he'd carried out? No, the law gives all criminals a fair trial, right?
But, let's say...I'm walking down the street and a building is on fire. (Note: Since modern-day society places such an importance on skin color)..I'll say....Two white men are stuck hanging out a first story window located at opposite ends of the building. The windows are about 15 feet from the ground. They only need a bit of support to be pulled from the window. One man is smiling and saying please help..while the other man is screaming frantically with a scour on his face. They appear same age, etc...who should I choose to save first?...taking into consideration, the building is about to blow and kill them both....Or should I just keep walking by and ignore both?..Should I choose to save the man who appears, through his actions, to be a "good" man..and ignore the man who seems to be " bad"..because he's reacting in a mean, hatelful way..telling me if I don't save him, he'll kill me..while the other man is kindly saying please.
Most people would consider me a monster if I walked on by and didn't at least try to help save them. Others might possibly question my moral standards if I were to do pros and cons before deciding which dying man to help based on whether I thought he was good or bad. Most people, in a situation like that, would try to save both men, regardless...wouldn't they?..It's called being humane, caring about our fellow man..as brothers and sisters. I could be wrong, but I'm saying...I see life on a grander scale...as if souls are hanging out of a "burning building"...in need of HELP. I feel I have a duty as a human being to at least try and help souls. I feel uncomfortable just "walkin on by"..Of course only if they want my help. I don't believe in pushing help on anyone. If someone is happy with who they are..so be it..but there are tons of people out there right now..looking for help...in search of hope. Something, anything that will let them know everything's going to be ok. You'd probably be surprised at how many people fall into this category.
For example, in the case of psychopaths and serial killers, isn't it that they are longing to get caught...that's why they keep doing it. They must feed the need of their sickness by carrying out the intolerable act, yet, at the same time, they desire peace from the torment it causes their soul. Even some of the worst type of human beings, like serial killers, are reaching out for help and ultimately desire mercy for their soul. I'm sure when they go to meet their maker, even the worst of the worst would choose heaven over hell...if we were allowed to choose, after death, where we reeeealllly wanted to go. If God allowed us that option after we died, don't ya think hell would be an empty place? I mean, come on...who really WANTS to go to hell for all eternity? I don't think anyone does, that's why I believe the way I do..and it's rooted deeper than even I've realized. I tend to hold onto the idea...that in some last, blink-of-an-eye type moment, even people like Hitler, may have cried out to God and asked for forgiveness...Besides, when you use Hitler as an example, that's like comparing the general population's intellect to Einstein. You can't compare the general population of "bad people" to Hitler..because he was an EXTREME case of his kind. However, I could love a bank robber the same as I could an Embezzler. I could love a murderer the same as a rapist....you get my drift? But I'm sure the average crowd of "bad" people are no where near as extreme of a case as Hitler..so I don't find justification for your question..Your statement was something similar to this..Could I love Hitler the same (equally) as another...
If we never trust in anyone, by showing them unconditional love, then a person may never get the chance to prove themselves through goodness. If we're all born bad with no chance of redemption...If we didn't at least believe the chance existed for everyone to be good and choose good, then isn't this already hell?
Life on Earth is supposed to be about FREE WILL and having a chance to live and be happy. If we were born with pre-determined destinies to be bad, then isn't that saying..we never had a chance..We didn't really have free will...and all of this is just a big delusional illusion?
If no one was ever willing to be the truest human being who could love, EVERYONE..equally and unconditionally..then what kind of hope could humanity offer anymore?
If no one is ever willing to start the love and help make the world a better place, then it'll never become a better place. It all starts with the outlook of the individual.
As newborn babies..I would've loved Hitler and Mother Teresa the same..As adults, my love for them would not be in the same "light".. but I like to think of everyone as when they first started out on this journey...uncorrupted and loveable. That's why I choose to be kind to everyone and show love to all people..No matter who someone grows into, I think of their pure soul, before it even entered the realm of our Earthly world..That's why I'm able to love everyone easily..I look past the humaness of them..and see the light of their spirit..the very soul inside their being. The way they started when they left heaven to be born unto this life. To me, that makes everyone worth being given the chance of loving..ALWAYS..EVERYONE!! No matter the person, I would, at first, at least, attempt to love them both the same. I would put forth the effort to love them both equally. Then if they rejected the love and chose darkness anyway...they would be gone from me, and I would have nothing further to do with them. But I must always take the burden and responsibility to my fellow man..to at least try and reach out to his soul with love and light....I believe there's always that chance people love the light and want to be a part of it. If not, I understand and go about my merry lil way. But what if it helps? If so...a Soul is proven GOOD and Love has conquered....To me, that's unconditional....yet..offers the biggest satisfaction....(Footnote..If, say from the beginning of time...peeps would've followed this "be kind to one another" rule..then the "Hitlers" of the world may have never been created.) Love breeds light..but it's when hate shows its ugly head, we breed more hate that tends to manifest itself through the actions and spirits of individuals...People become bitter, cynical, lonely, afraid, worried, frustrated..and the only thing they want to do is blame someone or something. God seems to be the one most favored for blaming...yet, it's the very spirit of God that saves us from such despair. You can't heal until you first believe.
We're not supposed to agree about everything, but we are at least responsible to put forth the effort for human's harmonious existence..before our time is up. I love to learn and grow...I'm never too big to grow or too shallow to learn...But I'll always choose to learn with an open-mind and a heart that's filled with the love of Jesus Christ.
