“I never knew how many of my Facebook friends were racist.”
“I am shocked at how much stupidity is in my timeline.”
The evil in your friend’s heart is not your problem. The evil in your own heart is.
What disfunction, willful ignorance, trauma, or self hate has led you to attract these rotten humans into your life? If your friends are so stupid, how did they hide this hate and ignorance from you? Whose fault is that?
Take responsibility for the friends you have garnered in your life. The fault probably lies in you. It could be a deadly naiveté or a darker piece of you that’s easier to project on your chosen associates than to face with humility.
These quotes are the perfect markers of the threshold each of us must approach toward enlightenment. There the denial and projection of fear before awakening can occur.
Will you walk through the gate into uncomfortable self knowledge or stand rigidly where you are, pointing a righteous finger?
God bless and thank you for reading, I appreciate you,
