I was talking with a friend yesterday who was describing the new love of her life as a "spiritual Nazi." What an oxymoron! My mind has been setting her straight ever since. The term "Nazi" is not, can never be, a positive in any context...according to me.
This morning, while journaling, I found myself starting a rant on that...I stopped me and wrote instead: "I am resisting the word 'Nazi.' If the f-bomb, which I use freely, is just a word signifying nothing (which I maintain) then so is 'Nazi.' Welcome it and be at peace."
My job now is to remember that unto breathing it. Because if I do not remember that, I am perfectly capable of unconsciously taking it to the outside of enough where I will decide my friend is somehow lacking. Next thing either of us know, we are at odds and our friendship is in jeopardy.
Just another "think the resentment through."
Thank You.
