Plain Old Hatred

You have to look at why you hate someone.  It's usually because they remind you of you!!  Their mannerism are mirrored and shockingly reveal our mannerism.  We just don't like what we see.  So if we aren't honest with ourselves, we ignore, avoid, and criticize them.  That way we don't really need to acknowledge those horrible traits in us.  Projecting those unpleasantries gives us a...well...security blanket that makes us comfortable with no reason to change, because now its someone elses problem!!  I am who I am, but they are way worse.

Shunning our own failings is an addictive and compulsive behaviour.

Self Help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices help us to clean the mirror.

I Used To Love You

How can you not love someone you used to?  We say we stop loving because we found something out about someone, or we can't forgive them for something we deem as wrong.

Maybe we are just avoiding them because they speak truth we don't want to hear?  Maybe our carnal instincts for substances or emotions lead us away?  Maybe we are too self-righteous and look down on them?  Maybe we personally wrestle with disobedience?  Maybe we lord things over them and they are avoiding us?  Or maybe we do things to annoy others and they don't love us anymore?

Maybe its time to look a gift horse in the mouth and realize that we are all fallen sinners, we all fall short no matter how right we think we are.  The opposite of "running away and condemning" is "running to and forgiving".  So it must be evil because God is Love!!

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices help us notice the maybes?

Creating a Ritual

You see someone who is wholesome and righteous in your eyes, someone you want to emulate.  Maybe out of respect we don't ask them why they do the things they do because we don't want to appear like a simpleton!!  You copy their mannerisms and the things they do.  But do we ask why?  You take on their beliefs and start speaking their language.  But why?  You do well with that and others start emulating you and the things you were taught. But do they ask us why?  We may not give an answer anyway, because we don't know why either.   That's how false religious doctrines and questionable ways of living start, because we don't study the Bible, a book that could answer all of our questions.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices give us the opportunity to see these verses in action and to question everything "ANYBODY" tells you about doctrines on "ANYTHING".

Critical View

The easiest thing on Earth is to find fault with someone.  What they do is different from us, what they say is harsher, their facial looks cause us to cringe.  It's funny but we never really notice the more passive individuals.  That's because to them, we are different, harsher, and have stern facial features what appears to them.

It is the fallacy belief that the stronger person wins, sometimes no matter the cost.  By displaying excessively aggressive or demure stances, we simply indicate that we have a large weakness within, an unwholesomeness part of us is screaming for attention.  If we heal that then we find the middle ground where people will find peace just being around us.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices give us the tools that we need to find those weaknesses and finally deal with them, once and for all!!

Where's the Peace?

Most people think that "once I complete this then I will have peace"!!  Okay after this next hurdle I will have peace...and so on!!  That sequence will be there throughout our entire life.

What we need to understand is that peace comes from within not from outside sources.  It's not a commodity or an award.  Peace is the understanding that we need to accept life as it is.  That doesn't mean we can't change our circumstances for the better,  it just means to accept the things we cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery and Life's Healing Choices teach us that the only fore sure thing in life is that we will have situations that can steal away our peace, if we let it!!

Melee

The word melee has 2 opposing meanings.
1/ is the carnage created by of a crowd of people,
2/ a cluster of diamonds crowded together.

Either way, its a crowd!

The first one is caused by individuals following the example set by a leader who is a bit off base with reality, and certainly peace is not in their thinking. The actions created by this thinking are detrimental to other people, willfully or accidentally.  Calm is out the window and selfishness is at the forefront.  When one gets lost, no one really cares because the excitement is more important.

Number 2 is the result of an artist organizing a group of shining precisely cut diamonds into a rhythmic balance and clustered tightly together in extremely unique patterns.  When one of the diamonds gets lost, the owner goes looking for it.

#1 sounds like an unruly world & #2 sounds like God and His family

The Aftermath

After the excitement of a party or the carnage of a riot and walking through the area, it tells a bit of a story.  The mess is usually the same, but how it's strewn about gives a few indicators.  You can tell what kind of people were there, if it was social by there being a slight order to the mess, or aggressive by broken debris, spills and turned over furniture. That's the visual!!

But relationships are a bit different as none of that mess is apparent. You can't see spilled emotions, crushed feelings, broken hearts, and careless maneuvers.  You mostly don't see the tears and hear the disparaging verbal blasts or exacting emotional facial expressions. That's mostly locked away [......FOREVER......]

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery and Life's Healing Choices give us the means to understand what we put people through and what other people do to us, by helping us organize our emotions and dealing with them quickly & openly.
