Until blood is shed no more by man from the hands of man, we must remember that we are in a war.
In the midst of battle we must strive to be warriors of peace, gentleness and bravery.
We must learn to eradicate habits of tendency that do not serve our highest good nor the highest good of All.
We cannot try to justify our behaviors that we ourselves are not proud of. This is the lower mind state of ego that we are evolving beyond. In our higher minds and higher states of Being we are not affected by these attitudes in other people; in turn we offer unconditional love and acceptance instead of judgement.
