You and I may be One in the vast scheme of things as the All Gary. But our choices are ours alone. My choices are not yours.
I am sorry friends, I do not understand your thinking. It does not meet with my understanding of atrocity agasint humanity. I cannot say that I see beaulty in the torture of another. I cannot say that I love one who is murdering a fellow human being. I cannot say that I can see myself doing the same because we are all One. I really have no idea why a person would think the way that you do.
What I can say is that because of my love for humanity I can love them knowing that they are at the mercy of human nature and their horrible choices. I can feel sorry for them and their lifestyle. I can want better things for them out of love. But I cannot say that I love them for what they do. I cannot condone inhumane acts and justify them by considering that I am free to do the same.
I guess we will just have to agree to disagree because if I ever met you in a dark alley while you were in the midst of causing such harm to another, you would very suddenly realize the very real difference between the One and individual choice. You would not find reaction based upon the fact that I did not love you, but based upon the fact that I love the one that you are choosing to kill.
Choices have consequences.
