I mean, lets get very very blunt here. If someone murdered a child in cold blood, could someone honestly look at that and say, "Nothing wrong here, just an innocent exploration of experience. Well, I guess I'll just go do my taxes now."
...
Honestly... when something like that does happen, I stay angry for just a tiny moment and then I'm just really sad. I am sad because I do not understand the choice that was made. I am sad because I am still unable to see the love in that particular moment. The simple fact that the one playing the role of the victim chose this just as much as the one playing the role of the perpetrator did, does not change my feelings.
It must be quite rare that someone may look unto such an act and keep smiling in love without loosing a beat. To that someone, 3d catalysts are no longer useful, that person is perfectly balanced and is able to see love in all moments. That person might well be able to say: "Nothing wrong here, just an innocent exploration of experience..."
I know it was chosen for a good reason on both sides, but it still makes me sad. I take this sadness to mean that I am acknowledging the choice without understanding it. Maybe not being able to properly accept it still, but at least having the intent to do so. My forgiveness in such cases is nearly automatic. If I were balanced, forgiveness would not even be required on my part.
I have faith that there is love in such a moment even if I cannot see it. This faith is what transmutes my sadness back into joy in due time. This kind of thinking is judged to be crazy by many, but I believe it to be our salvation (the salvation of third density or how we win this game).
I'm ending this post with a quote I find à propos.

It is also not helpful to be expressing in manners of non-acknowledgement of what they are experiencing. Therefore, if you are engaging one of these individuals and you are expressing in poetic love and light, those are lovely expressions but they are not necessarily helpful.
And I am not discounting the value of love and lightness, but when an individual is experiencing tremendous trauma and turmoil and fear, that is not necessarily helpful, for they can’t receive it. Not that they don’t want to receive it - they can’t receive it, for they are occupied with what they are experiencing.
Therefore, it is a matter of recognizing HOW you engage other individuals is equally as important as what you do in interacting with them. Therefore, in that, yes, sympathizing, empathizing is, in a manner of speaking, acknowledging what the other individuals are experiencing. And it is also expressing your feeling in relation to the situation, and that you are acknowledging that regardless that you are far away it impacts you also and that you are participating also, merely in a different capacity. In this, you are acknowledging.
In addition to that, it is a matter of not reinforcing anger. Anger is the expression of no choices. That is not an expression that you want to reinforce. You want to reinforce that there are choices, even if you don’t know what they are yet, and even if they don’t know what they are yet in the grander picture. You can move those choices into a position that is more manageable, in a manner of speaking...
