How to see....the other.

[anonymous]

So you look across the table, to your left, or simply across the room and see "insert face." It can be a friend, family member loved one or what have you. But from whatever perspective you see them and your mind is at that moment flushed with memories percieved through a filter of preference carefully created by willed patterns and operant/ classical methods. It is here you catch your self, hear you saying things that you ought not to say, think of things of either side of the fence, formed form an established bias. At this point you make a choice. What do I expect people to meet, and what do I need to let go. What is healthy to allow, and what are some milestone positions upon self that cannot be moved. An idea chewed on and maybe in a future time accepted, is the concept of seeing relationships as an opportunity for servanthood. Where love, kindness and acceptance is explained in a language of passivism for the sake of the greater good. A form of altruism that truly pours no fruit in return...at least in the direct sense.

...and maybe even beyond the sake of the greater good. love kindness and acceptance are capable of being what they are by reasons of something more then the language of passivism. to be passive suggests the existance of a desire to resist that is subdued- laid purposefully dormant. love kidness and acceptance may be only if there is not passifism but such a complete openness that one becomes like a mirror unto the world- a pure reflection. when there is not one single fetter attached to the action of love, of kindness, or of acceptance, may they truly be what they actually are.
