Day 125 of Gratefulness: Becoming a more loving person


Tonight I attended a vegan potluck with those that are living a plant-based diet.  I thought it would be a great way to meet other people on this path and find new recipes.  I also was hoping to find new people that lived in a higher state of love and surround myself with more of these typed of people.   I was very surprised at what I found. 

There were quite a few animal activists within the group and they were very vocal.  I have nothing against folks who love animals because I love animals.  I struggle being around those who have a lot of hate in them and use the word frequently.  Often times I run away from an environment like this but instead I sat patiently and listened.  I realized deep down their intentions are good and loving.  I do not agree with their actions though.  I will love them for having the passion to do something to make a difference and hope they will find a way to show their love for their passions in a healthier manner.  I truly believe in being for something rather than being against something.   I know this is something I am working on within myself and need to not judge others or myself for this.  I appreciate this discovery and look forward to changing this within me.
