| To share with you, I do not have bad feeling to have loyalties or prejudices. To me is is ok to choose sides based on my beliefs. I do not know anyone that supports my feelings or beliefs 100% of the time. Not even my man of my heart have 100% agreement with me, but I try to be loyal and have prejudice for him. I have strong and emotional feelings about particular issues. Other issues fall at my feet and do not concern me. To me it is ok ot be this way. Alright to be emotional. Fine to be excited, even fervent in the right time. It is good to be respectful, to recognize differences and work through those differences. This is important, work through the differences. Apologize when it is right to do so, forgive when wronged. Confess if in error. Accept when it can not be changed. Cry with your friend when they are in pain. Have joy in our heart and do not be too suspicious. A little is ok...............(smile with no teeth) Someday I will tell you story of how to carry a little fear in a bag around your waist to help you get through the trouble times. So, I tell you........... because I am human, I can not promise to not take sides; because I will take sides, but! I will always try to keep my focus on having unity between the various families so that we may be of one spirit.......Tsonkwadiyonrat......And that is possible. This is a fierce and emotional belief of mine. Being of one spirit does not mean that we are all alike. It does not mean that we agree on everything. We are individuals and very much different. Together we are a perfect body. Separated, we are a deformed body...missing an arm, or a leg, or an eye. OR if we try to make everyone believe the way we believe...this is also a deformed body. Maybe a body with too many feet, too many arms, too many teeth.........that would be very ugly. It is the same with my brothers and sisters from my mother's womb. We have a fierce love for each other, even through all the differences. |
