We seem to be having/to be in, two different conversations Dan!
Who are these people and how have they/others made my life (a lot) easier? …coz the last coupl’a decades onwards, have certainly made my life a-hell-of-a-lot-worse than it has ever been.
You seem to be saying much, without not knowing much… I’m all ears, to anything other than just statements, unless they can be backed up by facts.

Someone said: “I sense tomfoolery in your sock puppetry. Dr. … Leo … Marvin … ??‽!! lol”
Me: Paranoia-personified, much… so projecting again? [please go seek help and leave me be, and stop quoting inconsequential brain-rot TV-characters that I’ve never-heard-of at me… I don’t watch such viewing-material as that]
…now go back to entertaining ecmantwit… coz that’s more your level of understanding and interaction —>fool level.
Yes, ma’am.
Guys that invented / discovered, electricity, fossil fuels, cement, cars and trucks.
Hospital equipment. Light bulbs. Sanitation. Etc.

Bringing the thread back on-topic and not about me…
I’d prefer to call this ‘having a charitable side’, but doing
good deeds are priceless and appreciated by those they are
bestowed upon.
all 3 are the same rule
Love/trust/sorry (reconciling to/aligned with unfragmented/fractured whole) are the same thing. Action/evidence/change (as long as it is toward/aligned with the whole) are the same thing.
self=other
Store up your treasures in heaven, but don’t hide them under a basket.

…just as an evil/lying child loses respect in his parents’ heart, so do the evil/lying/immoral lose respect in god’s/society’s eyes.
.
Love, trust, and apologies, are separate, for all but the good.
You have never really lived…
Those words are beautiful and they are a part of what God’s purpose is for us.
Part of what unconditional love is about.
Why do we lie/hide?
We don’t want alienation/death.
We want to live.
When we try to upset the balance of self=other in our favor, we invite alienation/death. No one sends us there but us.
But if we knew the “other” doesn’t send us there — would we not stop lying/hiding? Would we not stop upsetting the balance of self=other?
We must choose to be the “other” like that, or alienation/death — complete entropy — will be the result/outcome we choose.
What is ‘living’, to you?

Moving on…

…the first step on the way to compassion… non-judgementalism.
The rolling of the eyes…meaning?
I can agree with what you wrote above…being non-judgemental.
I think that would also include, which can be a very difficult thing, learning to be non-judgemental toward ourselves. I think that it goes hand-in-hand…the tougher and more judgmental we are of ourselves the more we will also be of others.
The more we learn to treat ourselves with compassion and understanding, the more so we will have the capacity to respond that way to others.
Store up your treasures in heaven, but don’t hide them under a basket.
For instance, what kind of treasures to be stored there while we are still here?
First recognize that here is eternally subsumed there. And what passes away doesn’t ground meaning … but what eternally subsumes does.
Mo…ving on…
triggers two things
this is the first that actually triggered consciously
the second (to remain mostly untyped… moo) stayed in the background until I set out to write the trigger thing
you’re welcome:
& here’s your eye roll:

…it’s not the best way to have a fruitful exchange, in that people tend to ‘turn away’ from such onerous inquiry.
…unless that’s Your/One’s intended objective, of course.

…we can be hard on ourselves and allow liberalism for others, which doesn’t equate to having to emulate such types but to exist alongside them/each other.
…no… conflation… necessary.

The more we learn to treat ourselves with compassion and understanding, the more so we will have the capacity to respond that way to others.
Yes… you will be able to do so, won’t you.
MagsJ is proud of her high standards & being hard on herself.
Just in case: The eye roll is a social signal everyone understands that means “I am keeping my thoughts nonverbal because talking does nothing—even though it SHOULD do something—which is the other person’s problem, not mine”. It’s a social signal when people eye roll where others can see it, anyway. Usually under the assumptions a) they are thinking the same thing — and b) paying attention to the eyes. It can be a last-ditch to get someone to realize they are being an oblivious ass when they can do better (because they have before).
The more we learn to treat ourselves with compassion and understanding, the more so we will have the capacity to respond that way to others.
Yes… you will be able to do so, won’t you.
Yes I will - it is a process… and so will you, MagsJ.
