It's hard at first because you have to train your mind to accept all peoples. I thought I was doing good at it, but then a couple of years ago, someone told me that I needed to learn to accept people the way they are. ????????????????? Am I missing something there? I liked this guy a lot, and he was even Bipolar. I was accepting that about him. After him, another guy, a full blown alcoholic. That lasted 4 months after I realized I couldn't help him. He needed to help himself. In his case, was I supposed to accept his alcoholism? I don't think so.
I have concluded over my life time, that our lives are predestined. It was already planned out the way we lived it, and how we will die. I came to this conclusion, because there is no rhyme or reason for the things that happen in my life. They say, whatever we believe is true. Whatever we tell ourselves will come true and it happens to me everytime. I try to talk myself into the opposite, i.e. the way I want something to turn out, but the doubts are in my head therefore it never goes the way I had hoped, hence my reasons for my conclusions.
Besides all of that, I am glad I am allowed to interact with others in this world. At least they are not as the Germans say "Scheissfreundlich" which literally translated means, shit friendly, in other words, not your superficial, phony, wannabe Christians among the JW's.
