You may be right about that, certainly form your own point of view, but we would have a hard time agreeing even if we do agree.
We have a strong tendency to play devil's advocate regardless of our own opinions which can be very conflicted at times.
One thing we tend to believe is that there are probably no absolutes. Everything seems realative to everything else in ways that make definite value judgements difficult for us to agree with.
In general we try to uphold some ideals, such as hurting other people might be wrong. That is about as close as we can get to agreeing. Part of that belief is that being judgmental about people and their beliefs or behavior may be wrong. But using words like right and wrong is very strong language for us. We prefer to say perhaps that it may be unkind or it may be ill-considered.
One thing we are fairly sure about is our belief that everyone deserves respect and compassion for their beliefs and values and who they are, regardless of whether we agree with them or not.
We mostly agree that unconditional love is the highest form of love, and may be the closest way to be like god. We are pretty sure that god loves everyone unconditionally with total compassion. All of our experiences f god are like that, but we are aware that other people often have different beliefs and expereinces so we can't say we are right about this, it is only what we believe from the context of our own expereinces.
We are quite sorry if you have been offended. We were a little shocked by your reply and Alina withdrew. However, we have been delighted to meet you and visited your gateway, and we see we shared some similar things about our our childhood that you have shared about your chilhood. We will comment there in case it is not appropriate here.
Thanks for your patience and interest.
Alina still hopes to be friends. She enjoyed your pixel dolls.
