If people would read the bible and understand the laws none of this would happen and we would all be in a better place.
If people would respect other people and their environment as they themselvex would want to be treated, we'd be in much better shape. Depending on a book (any book) for guidance is limiting. We, as a species, need to get beyond the need to enforce rules on folks and instead support them in positive decision making.
That book may work for you, but assuming it should be a guide for everyone is overstepping. My apologies if that is offensive. It's not meant to be. It's only to say there are other valid avenues to the goals we aspire to.
thanks for addressing that @aunt-deb, i wasn't sure how to tactfully say anything. you said it all well and better than i could've and i appreciate that <3
You're welcome.
The 'if only everybody would...' perspective seems to be a popular one, but I don't see it solving any practical problems.
