😅 😊 🙏 🫶 I know exactly what you mean. Those experiences were examples of why every religion teaches the Golden Rule. If we were all practicing the Golden Rule, every religion wouldn't be trying to teach it to us. That would be redundant. People feel loved when they are given the benefit of the doubt but the reverse is also true, especially when those withholding the benefit of the doubt from us are members of our inner social circles. That is psychologically malicious behavior. Now you have some new arrows in your quiver to share with skeptical folks. Hopefully, with bridges built between science and spirituality, we can eventually manifest a world with less suffering and more love :)
