Do NOT Practice Tolorance (?)

[Guest guest]

I say this sincerely... do not practice tolorance. The first impressions would be that I have become anger-filled or deluded lol. Wrong. This word is dangerous and should be seen for it's true meaning. "As a child, my mother made me tolorate spinach". See. This, is an indication of it's true meaning which is to simply put up with something what deep within the mind, is actually offensive. The new word to substitute with would be equinimity. Reflections of ourselves, mutual respect and effort to understand someone or something different. Some people, such as spinach, should never be tolorated. If we are inable to apply equinimity, then we simply must keep distanced and neutral. This is being more truthful to one's self and the other involved, no games or fake smiles to fill in the spaces. The fact is that we are each unique. Even if we share the roof of a specific religous group or the such, but we are all each

unique and will have our inevitable differences. What we see as negetive or different in all others, they will most likely see in us also. This becomes the mutual middle ground on which to work from. If we can achieve heart-felt compassion for another, then we are practicing equinimity. If any little part of it feels fake or there is the slightest hint of some sort of inner unrest, then we are still practicing tolorance. It is nothing more than a most attractive, aluring coiled snake. It bites. Compassion To All, Randy

My kind brother Randy,

Mere words pale to the thanks for your posting this. My humble

now of respect and extended hand in friendship for this post. It

truly opened my eyes to how I see words, make judgments and then

realize, Wow! This is some great stuff! This guy really has a

knack for getting my wheels spinning in my head to be aware of what I

actually have tolerated which has harmed my inner be-ing!

Namaste, LUNA

Dear Friend and Sister Luna; I am humbled that you enjoyed that post. Tolorance is a dangerous thing,isn't it? I look back as far as possibleto our beginning,and settle in the now, and in the spectrum ofit all,mankind has not overall come very far from inventing the wheel and cavepaintings. We have so much technology but this alone shows the direction of the mind; it dabbles in the worldly nonsense with great effort yet seldom takes the time to practice or even acknowledge humanity. It takes zero effort to find flaws and faults in others,yet what a struggle it would be to actually look intothe mirror and find our own. ~Thankfully~ some are waking up and realizing that this is the most precious aspect of life... gettingalong, applying loving-kindness, and seeing our own shortcomings and flaws. Trust this Luna,we all have them, no one is exempt and those who think they are perfect,they are onthe top of my prayerlist. Compassion To All, Randy
