When someone doesn't approve of someone else's behavior, the general reaction is to try to compel the other person to change. But that is not the challenge which Life holds for us. The challenge is not about changing the world outside of us, the challenge is about changing the world within us. To see a new world, we must see with new eyes.
Instead of fighting against diversity, we should strive to accept our differences and deal with one another in tolerance, understanding, patience and loving kindness. We must strive to see with new eyes. Nothing else will ever bring enduring peace or satisfaction.
Wishing you love, harmony and beauty,

With this being said above, I take refuge in its message and at the same time express my differences with it which is part of its message. That is there always will be differences. In the Bible itself it is said; there is a time for war and a time for peace. The practice of meditation helps us reason according to a divine plan rather than reasoning from personal ego.
◄ Ecclesiastes 3 ►
Berean Standard Bible Par ▾
To Everything There Is a Season
1To everything there is a season,
and a time for every purpose under heaven:
2a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to break down and a time to build,
4a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5a time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6a time to search and a time to count as lost,
a time to keep and a time to discard,
7a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
