Practice loving all things and everybody, all the time .. Embrace struggle

'
the same reactionary abstraction that John Sheldon Spong ends with...'loving abundantly'
what the hell does that mean?
what can it mean but 'turn the other cheek'
who you go love abundantly and why..everybody?
but you dont know everybody! and everybody contains some of the most hideous, horrible, eggregious humans who ever walked the face of this earth.
will you love hillary clinton abundantly..Barack Obama, John McCLain, Bibi Netanyahu, Hosni Mubarack, Recep Erdogan,Meles Zenawi, Yoweri Musaveni, Jacob Zuma, Van Rumpoy, Sakozi, Stephen Harper....
such people will live no other lives than what they have chosen.
you will have to turn the other cheek with this abundant loving because those for eg.,will not stop killing the people they want to kill... and those people being killed will have to love their killers as they go to their graves?
that's turning the other cheek man..in spades.
and those on that list will not stop killing because they have a program, a practical one.. that is to maintain a system that controls the world and assures them their wealth.
and the loving is based on some ridiculous abstract principle that says love abundantly..god..the supreme abstraction. abstraction..idealism, equals god
people may have a chance to come to feel good about humanity, about their species of life, if there is general democracy and all have something, a stake in the society as I said before. otherwise its a waste of time.
love is nonsense!
only fat, well fed men and women talk like that
