I have always loved the quote about walking in anothers moccasins. Lets take it a bit further though. This really needs to be understood in the full spectrum. Not just within certain groups. But all the way around.
Like the babies. when a child is down heartened or hysterical,.. it is not uncommon for someone to tell them "Oh, that is nothing! You do not even know what problems are." Age and experience does not give one priority over another. It serves us well to recall when we were that age and being so distraught over something. What did we long for at the moment. Compassion? Support? Perhaps just a big hug?At that point in life those things were our experience and should never be discredited.
Lets not allow age to be a dividing thing in our life. The wonderful things we can learn from one another and share with one another. Even as a child I love how we would all sit around the table for hours as my grandma would tell her stories to us.So much wisdom come from our grandmas and grandpas. Take time to listen.
Many of these little comments made may not mean in any way to be harmful. But perhaps sometimes we need to think a bit more before we speak. Thumpers daddy was a wise lil rabbit. "If your cant say something nice don't say anything at all."
This one really needs to be addressed. Hang ups, and negative behaviors. On the one side I can look at this in others and try to relate and perhaps aid them. My Dears it goes both ways. Think of how your behaviors, etc effect others. If it does not feel good to you then it surely must not feel really good to them either.
Our Dear animal brothers and sisters are such wonderful teachers of unity and love and lessons. Remember this and treat them with due honor.
Such strong medicine from our plant brothers and sisters. Ahhh we are so blessed! Be grateful!
In all things and in all ways give our best and then give better. Do not beat your self over it or others. Just always grow in love and peace and harmony.
