My brother-in=law, G. came over for lunch today. He was kinda complaining but not quite, about his relationship with M. I said yeah, well she does yell a lot, but that's just her and that if he decided to leave he should go live with my brother A. so we would all still be family.

The main thing is not to cut things off with people because the bottom line to everything is love (not the "romantic" bullshit that leads to bad feelings).I mean friendship, which is the highest human relationship there is if it is real.
If you are friends with people then you have room for them to be say or do whatever they need to.

But the only way to do that is to already have so much self-love, or friendship for yourself that no one else can shake that. Then you don't need to be defensive because you can see that all attack is self-attack.

Jesus said it real clear. He said the kingdom of heaven is within. He said you had to follow the commandments, but that only two counted and those were :

1.) Love YOUR god (the one who is on your side) and
2.) Love you neighbor AS your Self.

Seems to me that the Republicans have the first part down, but forget the second part, (and the two totally go together) while the Dems have the second part but neglect the first.

But jesus did say that whatever you do to the least one, you do it to him and therefor to yourself.


[It helps to read the Bible if you are dealing with a "Christian" society. I put the quotation marks in there because true Christian community would hold all things in common and love one another and feed the hungry, clothe the naked and house the homeless.

It has been rather fashionable to make fun of the "peace and love"thing, but is the most practical thing if certain people are going to get beyond squabbles and name-calling and begin to do more creative things. We are actually a very intelligent life form if we can only see the good. I hate to keep harping on the Bible but "If anything is true or good or beautiful...etc..Think on these things."
