Megan is grieving the loss of a long time friend due to political differences. It is happening over religion too. It’s like a civil war is brewing. I have surface conversations with those I know have beliefs that differ from mine. It feels like our core values are in different languages with no decoder ring to find a common ground. I’m not sure that keeping a relationship going by staying on safe ground is honest and worthwhile.
Reminding ourselves that WE ARE ALL ONE beneath our surface differences is helpful (but is easier *said* than *lived*).
ReplyDeleteLong ago I learned that relationships are like those concentric rings we see when we throw a pebble in the pond. There are different frequencies I will attune to in different energy levels. I do not discuss politics or religion except on on one or in small groups with like minded people.
