Kudos, Emelia! I commend you for standing up for your personal principles and values. This is the core of what authenticity is all about, being unapologetic for just being our true selves. When we know within ourselves that we wouldn’t do, say, or in our case, write anything that would intentionally hurt another individual, there really won’t be any need ringing within our spirits to apologize or correct those actions.

The tragedy, I think, is that some people are unable to manage their perceptions, feelings, and emotions. Since they are not capable of doing so, they unfortunately permit the three to direct their lives, rather than they direct and control their perceptions, feelings and emotions. While none of us are remotely close to being perfect in any sense of the word, we (humans) take out our self-frustrations and inadequacies on those that are more capable of doing what we wish we could do ourselves.

Consequently, I had a similar incident on Facebook just this morning. Out of all things to be considered as, I was restricted for being “abusive,” of all things. It didn’t upset me as much as it made me laugh hysterically, because frankly, I know who I am and who I am not, and abusive is not who I am or what I do intentionally or unintentionally, knowingly or unknowingly. Since this is the case, my only concern was that it felt more like deformation of my character.

I imagine you are a lot like me when it comes to these kinds of unfortunate cases, and are capable of letting things of this nature roll off without any damage to your True Self being done. It does sadden me though when people revert to letting their opinions of simplest matters shadow them from seeing the “heart of the matter.”

Thank you for sharing this with us. It was very timely for me to hear it, and I truly appreciate your light shining in spite of the darkness we might come up against on this journey. Blessings beloved.
