The Worst of Humanity - Comments
When I feel anger, despair or simply cannot understand the actions of others, I try to imagine the little child that started that journey. I wonder upon what led them to their current path and feel deep sadness for them that their potential has become twisted and misshapen.
My own mum was a great example of someone who looked for the good in everyone and taught me by example to do the same. I will always remember someone knocking at the door to try and get her to sign a petition against ex offenders being housed locally. Mum refused to sign it and endured a barrage of" but you have all these young children, don't you want to protect them?" Even as a young child listening in, I remember feeling proud that my mum had made a different choice and in doing so had protected us. We were protected from the belief that people are simply good or bad and our minds were opened to a world of many shades of grey, but also to the beauty of light and forgiveness.

Hi Clare,
Thanks for the reflection about your mum. I also had a way of relating to other men., involving my being aware of the wounded little boy in them. I've healed my oswn wounded little boy a good bit so am aware of this. God bless your mum.
