I've heard people say that this is a sin or that's a sin. I don't always agree with their definition. I don't even know if they have a definition. It seems they use that word arbitrarily to support their rationale to hate other people. Well, you know what I think, hate is a sin. To me a sin is anything that destroys the fabric of a relationship. Everything is a relationship. I have a relationship with the earth, my body, the divine, my friends, my family, and so forth. Any betrayal of the trust built in any of those relationships is sin. We meet a new friend and we begin to weave the fabric of our relationship, when betrayals happens, it is a tear in the fabric. We can patch it up, sometimes stronger than before, sometimes the thread is weak. None if us are without sin, but we must try to love. The strongest of people are those who resiliently and tenatiously love, even in the face of hatred, even against notions of dought. To forgive ourselves and others of being failable human beings and choose to continue to encourage one anouther to do our best.
So that even those individuals who so foolishly spout out words of disention and hatred, I will choose to love.
When they have torn at all the fabric around them and are standing naked I will cloth them with love.
