Another prime example is acknowledging the good in the developers by being patient and trusting. Afterall, my original and practical response concerning my views on the LGBTq community was uploaded last check as I woke up this morning.
Maybe my path is strange, but as I get older I finally see what’s wrong with others. I think it’s a consequence of my previous attitude, “I always have to be good, so people around me think I’m a good woman, just like my parents”.
This has hurt me so much, many times.
Therefoore cynicism is not such a negative attitude now, I see something different than in the past, not always wrong, and I am a real woman.
But living with a husband who always and naturally sees the good, I meditate. Of course, I have to find a balance. With certain people it is not easy.
Hi dear Anna!
It sounds like you grew up feeling like you should
always be nice,
always notice positive things,
and always have only positive things to say.
😬 I grew up a lot like that too. 😬
But now I know that I can have my own opinions.
I can be real,
I can disagree with others.
And I don’t have to like everything.
I have known you a long time Anna and know how kind you are.
and I love the real Anna just as you are! ♥️♥️♥️
There was a lot of possibility today when the duties in the night shift were manyfold. The working together was led by mutual kindness and acknowledging everyone´s good intention, engagement and willing to care as best as possible for the ones around, resulting in a friendly, supportive athmosphere in mutual respect and care. A warmhearted being together. Nothing special, still not a matter of course, while in a way, natural and joyful.
My faith helps me to see the good in people. Although, love thy neighbor has not always been easy at times. I try to acknowledge that everyone has their challenges and pray for peace.
I try to see God in others.
Actually I used to do this, but forgot about it.
(How many wise and insightful things have I learned and forgotten about over the years?)
But l like the practice of seeing God in others very much and am glad to be reminded of it.
Usually I can see God in others,
or at least see our shared humanity by looking into the eyes of another.
Thanks so much for this question!
Wishing peace to all.
Probably won’t see any one today. With JJ not yet well, he is not coming for our Sunday visit. It will be a quiet day. I do acknowledge the good in all who regularly visit this site and participate in the Daily Question practice. Thanks for being hear and sharing your wisdom and vulnerability. It is such a welcome gift.
I don’t know that I will have much of a chance to acknowledge the good in others today, but I can recognize the good in others by letting go of my ego driven tendency to see the bad or difficult or the disagreeable in others. And by acknowledging in myself, that this is just my ego seeking to feel superior or better or above.
I have a well trod groove of cynicism these days, perhaps even a default, with those who I struggle to accept, understand or appreciate. Today I will do my best to be conscious when cynicism arises, and to choose to see good things.. Perhaps this can plant new seeds of seeing, understanding, acceptance and forgiveness of a few challenging people who I cross paths with …
It’s so hard to appreciate the good in certain people!
I’m not sure I can do this, and to be honest I’m not sure that I even want to.
This is hard for me.
I think just recognizing that they exist. I feel recognized when a person says my name, smiles at me, notices an article of clothing, says thank-you, holds a door open, so therefore, I will do the same for others.
Being comfortable in my own skin makes it easier to accept people for who they are from all walks of life. I’m confident that my practical answer concerning my shifting views on the LGBTq community within the last 6 months will go through at some point. My comments on Sunnypatti and Laura’s posts gives a glimpse into my views. Of course, there’s also the alignment of the stars too.
Sunnypatti, I just posted a response on my more accepting views towards the LGBTq community, and it didn’t go through. It’s quite long. It takes time to process. When I’ve done those types of posts, it often goes through 12-24hrs later. If not, that’s on the website people to fix. Longstory short, the writing’s on the wall. I also changed within my base even at the time 6 months ago. It was my answer from the question about inspiration back then that led to opposition and an apology 2 days later that was well-received. It’s tempting to do a 180 after disapproval. Been there and done that years ago. It led me to reluctance, passive aggressiveness, and pointing fingers. The grass isn’t greener on the other side.
I will be with others today who I know don’t share anything of my political or social justice outlook, yet they are dear and good people whom I cherish. I will love them as they are, as we all deserve to be loved.
Laura, as someone who’s a liberal of liberals, I can empathize with you as evidenced by my comment from Sunnypatti concerning my views on the LGBTq community. I trust in the tech people to take care of the issue being able to upload my answer. I posted my answer the 2nd time as a test. Being a cross between cultures, old vs new school, and nondisabled vs disabled has helped me adapt to multiple settings.
I see the good in the LGBTq community. This brings me back to the question concerning what inspired us lately 6 months ago. I remember my answer there and the opposition I received that led to my apology a couple days later. I have no regrets, because it’s water under the bridge, and the only way I know for improvement is to make mistakes.
Fastforwarding 6 months later, my stance on the LGBTq community is more accepting. They are whatever gender they identify with. Sex and gender can look similar. Even if my views have become more liberal there, I still wouldn’t be the first one to bring it up in a more conservative environment as someone who’s a cross between cultures, old vs new school, and nondisabled vs disabled.
Healthy boundaries is the key. This can apply for people with autism or anyone who’s different from the norm with myself included for sure. It’s tempting to put out our ideas everywhere and end up receiving gorilla glue from barking up the wrong trees. As someone who’s new school of new school, I often find myself fascinated with my unorthadoxed ideas.
Stability in my marrage, job, and just being comfortable in my own skin are factors I have going for me making me more accepting of the LGBTq community. Nontraditional romances in entertainment are the least of my concerns. I’m just here to live a simpler lifestyle. Being married to the right woman for me also helps. There’s more than plenty of materials out there, and the stories, music, or movies we choose to associate with is within our control.
Having an unconventional style is the biggest commonality between those guys and me that jump out. Now that I have a better understanding of who I am, the LGBTq community, and how I can relate to them, I’m more than happy to advocate for them just like for people with autism and mental health struggles. We must know the does, don’ts, and how to crack the code. The last thing we need is to drink from the bitter cup. That will only contribute to more discrimination.
I have been away from Facebook for a long time, and it’s refreshed my mental health and perspectives greatly. When the time calls for me to be an advocate again, I’m open to a social media return. My intuition will inform me like with many things. When I was an advocate for people with autism and mental health struggles last year even though I did it more out of Paw Mu rebelion than looking at what would benefit society, my voice was generally heard. Everyone receives negative reactions from time to time. For me, the positives far outweigh that. The goal is to minimize; not avoid negativity.
One thing I did right 6 months ago for sure even through the opposition was that I made sure to change within my base. It’s tempting to change the entirety of who we are, completely stop speaking our minds, and try to conform to the majority. When I use to do that at a younger age, I found myself acting out of reluctance leading to passive aggressiveness and finger-pointing.
I believe that because of self-envy, I misunderstood someone many times. But as I calm down, analyze, and recall my experiences with that person (people), I realize that each of us is not perfect, but we are all good in some way. The important thing is whether I acknowledge it or not. Wishing everyone a beautiful Sunday!
My Ngoc, you have a habit of being defensive, but I’ve noticed that you’ve always been good about thinking things through. I’m not much different. I’m just faster than my old versions due to the willingness to become more expressive. The gentler base slows me down. We’re slow and firm.

I resolve not to question and analyze the actions of others

Now for public figures, l don’t know.
Beautifully said.
