I am off to work for another day.  At least being in my EO world makes me feel more connected.  So many thoughts I've had.  So many I wish to share.

Humility was/is definitely one reason.   I judged a him & a her once for this.  I judged him, the prior Tac-P, Comissioning source top grad a lot more than her.  After all, he was married.   How could SUCH a wonderful and charismatic leader NOT lead by example in this one way?  I was disappointed.  I never considered that the partner wasn't loving/supportive or faithful.  I didn't have full knowledge of all the information/facts.

Definition of prejudice:  adverse opinion or judgement formed (beforehand or) WITHOUT FULL KNOWLEDGE / COMPLETE EXAMINATION OF THE FACTS.

I couldn't very well examine all the facts if I didn't have'em, now could I?  So was/is me judging him for this act a prejudice?

Definition of Stereotype:  conventional, oversimplified opinion, concept or belief.

So...aren't values and morals types of beliefs?

According to DEOMI/SSG:  Morals are beliefs/ideas of right and wrong
                                               Values are beliefs/ideas of good and bad

Whatever.  They oversimplified.  Values are about right & wrong too.

Point:  If one accepts/agrees that;  if forming adverse opinions w/o FULL knowledge of the facts (prejudice)  is bad, then how can one judge another based on ONE, SMALL bit of knowledge about another (even if it were infidelity)?

Point:  If one accepts/agrees that; oversimplified  concepts/beliefs (stereotypes) are BAD, then don't we need to define WHAT CONSTITITES an "oversimplified belief"?
How is that any different that "you just have to accept that Jesus is God", or "you just have to accept there is a Trinity", or "you just have to accept that Aliens don't exist", or "you just have to accept that God made some beings (pick one; whites over blacks, males over females, heterosexuals over homosexuals) superior to others"?   It's all bullshit.   We, I, have NO business judging one another!

We all screw up.  We all succeed.  Every dog has it's day.  All I know is this:  I LOVE loving.  I love sharing. I love learning.  I love talking.  I LOVE connecting.  Sometimes this life,  all this "programming" that we do to ourselves and one another in this socialization process....well this life is just TOO CONFINING to me!!!!

I wanna dance with wildness and let ecstasy fill me w/o remembering the limitations of being human (b/c that's NOT how we began, it's NOT our source, it's NOT who/what we are in a deeper level)!

I DO see beauty every day, even when it's not pretty.  God, the Great Spirit, the Holy Spirit is everywhere--open your eyes!  I DO source my life from its presence!

I really wanna be able to live with failure, mine and yours, and still shout "YES" to the moon.

The problem?   Ponder this:    "I want to know if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul"

I don't know if I can bear the accusation of betrayal (by all who've been programmed the same way as I & to view certain things as "bad" & "wrong")?   I have betrayed my soul practically all my life (that's a different blog entirely).   & THaT is what's killing me.  That's where I lack confidence.

Humility.  I was my starting thought today.  There's much more, but that's a good stopping point for now.  No one is perfect.  Judging does not help the judger, nor the judged. Only love seems always good, regardless.    Failure is painful, but look how much (humble) growth can come kiddo.  Hang in there my sweet child.  & relish those moments you connected and felt loved.  Keep picturing those eyes, that smile.  Keep hearing that wonderful voice.  Shout "Yes".  Have the confidence to know you are imperfect and still worthy of love.   Just love. Yourself and others.  That's what you are good at...so go forth and do it.   23.
