One of my readers commented on the previous post that he thought the barbarians were still a minority. I'm not sure about that. How many "progressives" are out there who believe killing babies is fine, even virtuous, and throwing obscenities at those with whom you disagree. I've had people on the blog say that I want to kill people. Where does that come from? Their own barbarian minds. They apparently wish to kill me and so they project their feelings onto me. Hey! All I want is their conversion and for us to meet merrily in heaven.

ReplyDeleteThe idea of projecting one's intentions/feelings on other's, I believe is deluding ourselves that we don't have the same ones at times. So easy to be blind to ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI love this Rumi poem:
"My dear heart never think you are better than others.
Listen to their sorrows with compassion.
If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts, do not gossip, and don't teach what you do not know "
Always a work in progress.
