I am kind of surprised I am having to write this on the ULC Networker but honestly I think that if something is evil who better to deal with it then those that are truly in God's service. I have noticed lately that a lot of people have become so polarized in their beliefs and thinking that it is quickly becoming a very scary and unsettling country to live in. Recently a friend of mine was kicked out of her home and had to move back in with me. The person who kicked her out did so over a fight they had because she said the name Jesus instead of cursing in front of the woman's kids. Yes she could have done better in respecting the person and not saying it I agree, however, to put someone out on the street in the middle of Winter in a Northern state away from her family and friends is inhumane. You see, my friend was asked by this person to come up there to begin to build a life with this woman. She went alone thankfully while her kids stayed with me and their grandmother. She had no one up there. Yes I think it was a stupid and reckless move on her part but that is neither here nor there. What I am getting at is the way in which now we are being treated as her family for supporting her and defending her in her need to make her life better for herself. They continually write things about her and all of us on certain web pages which I will not mention here. I myself have recieved emails and comments from people I have never even heard of all because I am associated with this person. Now granted I am very strong minded and very long-winded and will stand my ground even before the God and Goddess if neccessary. I am not one to take harrassment or negative treatment without saying or doing something. I know that to many people this would be seen as adding to it but I will not let others defame and slander me and call me and those I love horrible things. I truly believe that there is such a thing as righteous anger and defense and you must stand up for yourself. Let no one tell you that you are wrong because you don't do it the way they think you should. They are not you and do not live your life. We must stand for our lives and hopes and divinity. We are not to stand by and let those that would do us harm continuously do things to us. When Christ said " turn the other cheek" I truly believe that he meant to turn and let them see your other cheek as you walked away. No one on Goddess' Earth or anywhere should be allowed to physically harm you without the cause of defense nor should you be afraid that stating your opinion right or wrong will put you on the street. People are so quick to hate now it is insane. People are so quick to condemn others for the littlest thing now that this has truly become a very dangerous battlefield. Not only are you alerted to the way strangers will treat you but that it can come from your own family. I am truly sorry that this is sounding so negative but it is hard to be positive when talking about evil and hate. You cannot have both swimming all around you. Now I know that I have to admit that I can be very mean to people and sometimes downright stupid but I will pray for these people that said these things about me even though I really would like to forget it. i know that if I did not try and put some light into this situation that it would only get worse. I am very appreciative to all those with comments and support. May you now and forever Blessed Be!
Love is the key.
Love heals all things.
When a child is raised in a hate-speaking environment, a child's heart will be seeded with hateful views towards their neighbor.
That child, though now an adult, needs love.
