Seeing the Creator in All Entities

[Sacred Fool]

I still find the negative things that humans do to each other appalling. I would think that that then creates the opportunity to change the feeling of being appalled into the feeling of love for the Creator in all its variation. Maybe this is a lesson that we have incarnated here to learn?

If someone enslaved another human or abused animals or deforested the land, is there any obligation on us to find some small thing acceptable in them?

No, I wouldn't say there's a cosmic or a social obligation, necessarily.  I think it simply depends on the degree to which your heart is either opened or closed.  Some would say that this is the basic lesson to be learned here: to be conscious of catalyst while maintaining an opened heart to it, to all. 

After all, can one not be appalled and also have an open heart?  Naturally, that does require a disciplined personality to hold the one emotion in purity and not allow intrusion of fearful thoughts of past or future worries or other such emotions which might close the heart.  Some would call this equipoise.
