Perhaps this world
would be a better place,
a more fitting tribute
to the human race,
if all who inhabit this earth,
were taught from
the moment of birth
that they bear the responsibility
of their own behavior,
rather than depending
on forgiveness
or the sacrifice
of a "savior."

Dear Ida, I do believe in original innocence and therefore I believe that we should be free to love and respect ourselves and our neighbour ... the way Jesus taught us to love. Responsibility is intrinsically connected to love. Forgiveness helps us to realign to divine harmony. It's a long way to learn not to hurt each other ...

Your deep reflections amplify the longing for a better world, where every being will be blessed with the awareness of Love being the key.

Jesus, as I understand it, is the most precious gift of divine Love and I think He truly saved us from ignorance of the law of love.
Thank you dear Ida!
Love,
Margherita

Thank you for your comments. I guess I have known too many people who live it up until they realize that they are growing old and have one foot in hell. Suddenly they become very pious and judgemental of those who are following exactly the same path. The Feeling that they have been forgiven and cleansed leaves them free to pass judgement on others.
