There was a time when I read about living one's life with love...directed by love...that I thought that meant letting others be as mean as they wanted to be to me.
What a great gettin' up morning it was when I realized that that is not loving, that is kowtowing, which is just another control method. Since that time, my life has been and is about learning to say "No," with love in my heart...which is all about learning to live my life without regrets.
Note that I say "my life is about learning," not "I learned." Nothing in my life is past tense...spiritual growth is ongoing or it is not growth, it is dogma. Spiritual conditioning leads us back to patience and forgiveness when all our human conditioning is crying for retaliation.
Another gift comes when we accept that our ego, legislating for itself, will always "forget" and demand retaliation. It is our responsibility to remember (sooner rather than later) that God is more powerful than our ego, that our answer is in spiritual principles.
We breath our "thank You" and go forward without a resentment which is all the cry for retaliation is...a resentment aborning.
Thank You.
