Love doesn’t mean we have to be “nice”. Or try to have a relationship with them. Or love their actions, speech, mentality, habits, etc... In fact, treating them according to their actions may help them “wake up” which is the best thing for them.

Brings up the subject of forgiveness. We cannot forgive those who do wrong to others. It’s the others’ business, we can each only forgive those who do wrong to us personally. And forgiving them also means we don’t have to love or accept their actions, speech, habits, mentality, etc or have a relationship with them, and so on.

However they did wrong to US. They blamed US! They continue to blame us, the USA in regards to the “worlds” trouble.

I haven't done sh!t! Why do they blame ME for their own troubles?

Sorry, I take a HIGH offencce to such accusations.

does one have to ask your forgiveness before you give it?
