Matthew 7:12, “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.”
Everyone is different. Some want to treat others the same way they want to be treated. Others would like to receive treatment that they do not want to give.
Since I prefer living by this law of God stated in Matthew 7:12 (now better known as The Golden Rule), I have decided to turn off comments in my category for my faith. Religion and politics are hot-beds of controversy. I won’t even write about politics, so that’s why I don’t have a category for my politics (although I do have some links to support the way I lean politically).
I do enjoy observing well-organized formal debates, but I do not like to argue with others. Everyone has the right to express their opinions and everyone has the right to decide what they accept as facts and/or truth.
Whoever does not like what I say in my blog can simply ignore it. That’s what I do with blogs where people express things I don’t agree with. I feel that to go into someone else’s space and tell them what to do is akin to trespassing. When people do such things, it’s as if they’re saying, “What’s mine is mine, and what’s yours is mine too.”
This is why it is so important for everyone to have their own space with boundaries. Unfortunately the price of keeping out unwelcome comments also means excluding welcome ones.
So, for those of you who like to inject unwelcome comments, please stop to think (that is, assuming you care) about how selfish you’re being. Thank you.
