Understanding can build bridges and connections where as shaming is about destruction of spirit and soul. I think people need to be more sensitive to the plight of others and that their circumstances are sometimes out of their control. We live in a very diverse world where no two people encounter life in an identical way. Opening your heart and mind can go a long way into creating peace both communally and individually. Maybe this is the door to peace?

A Ramble About Misunderstanding
Thanks for being my blogging pals. If i say something screwy let me know. Life is too short to lose people to misunderstandings. Communication can solve a lot of issues before they become issues. Think about how many relationships have been sunk due to people saying something that was not understood in the right spirit. We all need to take a minute to listen and offer a chance for someone to clarify their words. Peace is still needed in our world and its our friendships where it can start first.
Bridges of Understanding
I am a believer in meeting someone half way when they seek to build a bridge of understanding. Yes everyone carries a level of guarded optimism in the process but others carry some hurt and pain. Spreading goodwill among men and peace on Earth are things that should be universally embraced. Religion as imperfect as it is has been there to help people from all walks of life in all sorts of ways. As a believer I want to share my faith in a way that is informative and non-threatening. Faith is not a bad thing, it really isn’t. A lack of faith is not a character flaw, its a conscious choice. I hope I have made sense here.
