What I mean is...
They can forget me...even say some gossip about me...
Get mad at me...be indifferent to me...neglect me...
pay attention to others...blame me for things....be all
scruffy and a mess...
I mean the list goes on.
And I see none of it...
I just love them...I don't need to forgive anything...I've forgotten it
as it happens...I love for love's sake...I experience Love Itself...
with no need of return...no need for thoughtfulness or appreciation.
Egoic pride felt with the rude stranger has no place here.
But, when the acknowledgement does come? Whew, then even more love
is expressed and given...because there is a crack of openness...and
their hearts are exposed and felt.
I imagine you all have one or two you feel the same about...a doggy that chews your
things, a son that is in trouble with drugs and the law, a girlfriend that you adore, simply
adore, yet does insensitive things...
Don't you feel as God does...this unconditional force of love that has no bounds?
This...this is how God feeeeels...for infinity.
This...this is the bliss, the heaven, the kingdom, the satchitanand that God dwells in.

I hope you love yourself as unconditionally and say no to being treated that way.

Love means different things to different people. My idea of love is liking someone a lot. I couldn't love anyone I didn't like, including family.
Ah, but I am really not being treated that way, I know what you mean, tho,L8Gr8, hug...
I mean sometimes I can be treated poorly, sure...but you see... I know they are not treating ''me'' that way... I know what is really happening....they are treating themselves badly...
I don't take it personally...because it is not personal.
When someone is not at peace and is concentrating on their pain, pouting, whining, angry, depressed, they treat everything rudely...their pet, their mom, me, their job suffers....it's everything...their house is a mess, they don't take care of their diet.
How could I possibly be hurt or mad...they are hurting and so
effect their environment...maybe even display road rage.
So from that place of 'seeing'...I just love them.
And in this way I feel the way God does...'seeing', understanding ...having compassion...
and just loving ...period.

You are a Sweetie Miss Hepburn.
My Mother (I miss her so much, I can hardly stand it) was like that. To everyone and everything. The love vibe that came from that woman was so incredible. I actually don't believe she was even capable of a mean spirited thought. Only love and a powerful good and comforting energy emminated from her. It was so strong you could feel it...everyone could, no matter who it was. It was unmistakable, and very special. It was like she channeled the Jesus Philosophy into the world around her.
It appears that you have a similar thing going on. How wonderful! XOXO

The deity featured in the Bible is pure evil and wouldn't know the meaning of any sort of love!
I don't take it personally...because it is not personal.
This is a perfectly valid point, which I increasingly subscribe to. However, the fact that something is "not personal" doesn't mean it isn't "meant personally" (usually via projection) or that it doesn't effect one personally.
I read an article recently about lifelong friendships of 20, 30, even 50 years where one friend suddenly, without explanation, drops the other and cuts off all contact. When things like this -- and worse -- happen in interpersonal relationships, a wise person doesn't hold onto it or refuse to move on ... but that doesn't make it easy to let go or move on when it wasn't your choice. Actions have consequences and sometimes they are hurtful.
So yes, you do not count on people because by and large they are feckless, unaware, and disloyal from the perspective of anyone who is remotely idealistic. You attach loosely if at all and move along. That doesn't trivialize the emotional blowback involved though. No one who is still human can fail to have SOME expectations, hopes or dreams which are dashed by people behaving badly.
