I was vaguely skimming a bunfight on social media this morning where a person trying to remain balanced and understanding was lambasted as Woke.
As I wondered at the unnecessary language it came to my mind that trying to be understanding and compassionate is in line with the God of love. Which would probably make God Woke in their eyes. How odd.
These people are trying to force others off the path of love by belittling them, onto the path of anger and hate. How does that work?
Feeling great -v- boiling with anger
Anger is not a nice emotion even if it’s one people embrace only too often. They may be okay feeling as they do, but the fact is that it’s damaging to health. Angry people often land up with a list of ailments caused by the stress they put their bodies under. Why would anyone do that? Why would anyone choose that?
Awash with good feelings
Isn’t it far better to feel happy and relaxed, to try to understand others and if you can’t, quietly walk away? Is it pleasant to be driving to work fuming about what you should have said, snapping at your colleagues, steaming all the way home, then having a sleepless night working out appropriate comebacks for a conversation that is over?
Frankly the answer is obvious, but first you have to allow yourself not to be angry, and that’s something we’re not taught to think about.
How we choose to feel is how we allow ourselves to feel.
Something to think about. But if you are a person who prefers to be kind, tries to understand others, and wants to feel good, you have a nice reply if anyone tries to belittle you.
If God is Love then God is Woke
if that’s good enough for Him that’s good enough for me!
Best love
