Humanity in stage 1 of the very long journey of life is NOT very forgiving.
Yes, they talk of forgiving, but they do not forgive easily.
When they do not forgive, hold on, they get stuck in stage 1, being emotionally stuck in stage 1.
We need to know that humans make mistakes, and we need to learn to forgive. If we can treat all humanity as family, we will find it easier to forgive because we tend to forgive family members for making mistakes, which is part of growing. When it is NOT family, we do not forgive easily; we hold on and keep the anger brewing inside that can lead to physical violence.
When we can see the world of humans as a BIG FAMILY, instead of separate countries, races, colors, and religions, we will find that we can forgive and move easily to stage 2, where peace has the opportunity to blossom.
Can we see all as family? The BIG HUMAN FAMILY?
Something to think about.
