so true
Christian philosophy is about love of mankind, not accusation and punishment as so many represent it.

You've got it westwend
The Way is more about recognizing the innate divinity of the other and serving their needs, trusting that others will recognize the divinity in us to serve our needs. I sometimes realize a little late that I did not look for and recognize Christ in my interactions with another. That makes me more careful and it happens less and less often that I leave an encounter feeling empty or even worse ashamed of my selfishness. But it still happens. We are striving for perfection... If I don't give my best I know it. Others may not. But it is the spark of the divine in me that sees it was demeaned or denied in some way.
