Certain People

Pride in our looks,

Intellect, influence or standing

Physical or mental illness

Causing the illusion of isolation

Racial, ethnic or sexual

Bigotry, whether extreme or subtle

Extemist mindset

That would have you impose your beliefs on others

Religions traditions that

Are more exclusive than inclusive

A past full of pain

emotional, physical and/or sexual abuse

Traumatic childhood experiences

Seemingly, too painful to look at.

A life full of ease

No need to change, everything just seems to work.

An unrealistic attitude

Of having it all together.

We all have something

Reasons we may not even be aware of

Reasons why we make choices

Justifications

For not showing love to

Or even wanting to learn how to love

Certain people

We will never experience

The peace, love and joy

God has intended

Until we see past ourselves

Seeing others where they are

Each with their own set of somethings

And become willing to love

Or learn how to love
