Blinding flash of the obvious: Free speech need not make others angry. The spiritual lesson to learn is how to take responsibility for my individual response to another's free speech. I take responsibility by not resisting it, by inviting God to do my responding, my thinking, feeling, acting, being. Be the light that brings others to victory over self that It may bear witness to others of Its love, His will, Her way of life.
I wonder if all the people-problems of the world couldn't be solved if each of us would take loving responsibility for our own response to what we are seeing, feeling, hearing, saying.
Picture it: Thank the Source within that just for today we assume the best...we hear only kindness...speak only caring words in response to what we hear...see only the best in others and in our bathroom mirror.
It's like John Lennon's Imagine. All he asked is that we imagine world peace. Here, all we're asking of ourselves is to picture personal peace.
And the ever-resistant ego whispers, "That'll never work." There. That's exactly the point where we take responsibility for our own thoughts, words and deeds...by agreeing with the ego then doing the God thing.
Thank you.
