"daylia" I find your post very interesting. My comments came from a Christian heart.. and the principles I try to live by are Christian ones. The thoughts from the book about HUNA reflect the efforts that Christians should make in changing their own behaviour. There are many other expectations also but we all find that difficulty in perfecting our ways...of becoming more "mature" in our behaviour and belief. Nevertheless, I must keep trying...keep making the effort to be the best I can be and sometimes failing....
I try not to judge but sometimes I know I do. I try not to compare but know I sometimes do. With regard to understanding... I have found in my belief that I did not have to understand to believe but had to believe to begin my understanding....To everyone their own beliefs and standards but perhaps if we all tried to put some of those things into practice..our attitudes to our fellow man/woman would be far healthier.
Be Blessed.
