Thank you Bogden.
All of us want to be liked, but because everyone has been born on a different side of the fence, some will dislike you just for being who you are.
I have met some that at first I did not think I would like, and after a few exchanges, I saw them in a completely different light.
So I stopped trying to be liked and just became what I am, and I talk to the Congressman just the same as I talk to a stranger; always with sincere respect.
I have to say that everyone that I have met in my life, whether friend or foe, I have lost the ability for hate. Sometimes I dislike the things people do, but I can not bring myself to dislike them.
I became a WYSIWYG person, my true self naked for all to see. I then discovered something completely unexpected: UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
This compromises nothing, holds no malice and has no ability whatsoever to do harm.
