As of "now", my original thoughts are unchanged. I deeply appreciate the contributions of each person. I greatly value the privilege of empathizing with, pondering upon, & discerning the wisdom & truth in their expressions. It has been disappointing when my hope to inspire love has resulted in discord, fear, or negativity. But I am ever grateful for the joy there is in this sharing & for each contribution & contributor. (((hugs)))
One cannot define love by assimilating it with hatred. Any attempt to do so will result in discord because hatred is the opposite of love.
But if you give up on your effort to discern that comparison you will impede your ability to reach that realization, and will continue in realizing such discord.
I commend your efforts and wish you success in your discernment.
