“Love your neighbor as yourself.” So simple, yet so true. If everyone did that, then I think our world would be a better place. I don’t think he meant for people to just pretend that they love everyone and just be nice to everyone, but truly accept and forgive everyone is to truly love. To care and know about peoples biggest flaws and mistakes, and still be able to look past that and love them for the kind heart they have somewhere, even if it’s a really deep somewhere. But what kind of world would it be if everyone loved each other? I can’t even imagine what a world like that would be like.
My High School counselor use to work with homeless people in urban cities, and she made a video of an interview with a homeless man in San Francisco. He was really interesting and one of the nicest people I’ve ever seen with some really insightful things to say. One of the things he said that really stuck with me was “You don’t have to know someone to care about them.” Coming from someone that had nothing, who had the right to be bitter towards people, I thought that was really cool.
“I form light and create darkness; I make peace and create evil.” God made everything. I think he was trying to balance out our world. You can’t appreciate beauty if you’ve never seen the ugly. Happiness wouldn’t mean anything to us if we’ve never suffered.
