Thread Name: BS: Mutual respect
Subject: RE: BS: Mutual respect
Sure...everyone wants respect to be mutual.

So, how do we go about it? We do for others as we would like them to do for us....we do not inflict upon others what we would not want them to inflict upon us.

We take the first positive step. And the next. And the next after that. We do not cast our negative judgement upon others.

Matter of fact, all that is covered quite succinctly in the New Testament...and also in a great many other faiths than Christianity...but people conveniently put it all aside when their feelings get engaged and they focus on some other passage instead. One that seemingly gives them the right to judge, condemn, attack, and coerce. ;-) And so it goes.

That's why new spiritual teachers have to keep coming forward, century after century, millennium after millennium and why they always will.
