How do I get better at loving people? Christanon 02/12/18 (Mon) 21:46:06 9d6a35 No.604315

Anger is something I constantly struggle with. I try to love everyone, but there are still some people that, if I'm being honest, I flat out despise. It's not to the level of wishing death on them or anything like that. At the same time, however, I don't think I would feel any remorse if they went to hell and I know that's not right. I pray about it, but is there anything else I can do?

Are you saved?

The best way to conquer a fear is to surround yourself with what you fear. Believe it or not, anger often comes from fear. We hate in others that which we fear the most in ourselves. For example, if you hate black people (not saying you do, it's just an example), then start going to a black church. Talk to them, get to know them. You may even find yourself making lifelong friends.

I'm not sure the "some people" you mean, but if you recognize that they are people, then you're already on your way to purging your anger.

>I'm not sure the "some people" you mean

It's mostly family members. With out getting into too much detail, certain relatives have started throwing a tantrum about grandmother's will(she's still alive and healthy) out of nowhere and the whole situation is getting ugly. It's torturing my grandmother on the inside. I never cared for these people to begin with, but all of this has left me disgusted with them.

There's also people like Angela Merkel, but that's a completely different type of disdain.

>telling someone to relax around blacks

That stuff doesn't even work for other blacks that foolishly relax around blacks, themselves.

Consider them better people than you.

Try to find parts of yourself in them.

By learning to better recognize and appreciate just how much God Loves you, and, despite whatever sins you may have or whatever you've done, that He Saves us with an Everlasting and Perfect Salvation.

Accept that the average human is a scumbag in every sense of the word.

Is there, then, an "exceptional" human who is not a scumbag, whose "righteous deeds" rise above the lowly level of filthy rags?

Of course but if you got to the streets the first person youd see is an asshole.

Get used to it and dont get surprised when they act like the assholes they are

I would spend some time really thinking about the nature of hell. It's something I think most people do their best to not think about; I know I try to avoid it. Unending pain, futility, despair, separation from God; a place

>where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.

Matthew 9:48

For me, once I've spent even a small amount of time considering the nature of hell, I become unable to wish it on anyone alive. It's so terrible a thought that many use the very idea of hell as reason to reject Christ, or replace his teaching with that of universal salvation. Once you realize the gravity of it, you then must also remember that there are only two possible destinations for a human being: eternity with God in heaven or eternity without him in hell. Every interaction you have with a person influences them in one of those directions. Therefore we must always be imitators of Christ, loving our neighbor in the hopes that they will see a glimpse of Christ in us and come to Him in repentance.

Keep praying, remember that we all have our faults, and forgive them as Christ commanded:

>For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you; but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 6:14-15
