My next question that comes to mind
is, are we really living a just life because it is the right thing to do or are
we only doing it for the sole purpose of getting into heaven? I hope that
people are doing so because it is the right thing to do and not the latter
reason. Personally for me, my religion does not stress the afterlife, instead
it does focus on our life on this earth and how we can be the best we can be by
following G-d’s commandments and by performing mitzvot. I can only dream of a
world where we truly accept one another and TRULY love each other no matter
what differences are present. No matter what religion we are the bottom line is
we are all human beings and we all deserve love and acceptance from one
another.
I hope this blog can be your “positive sanctuary" when you need to get away to a peaceful place in your life. I strive to record positive experiences that have occurred in my life as well as give advice to help achieve happiness and love in life. Have you found your treasure in life yet?

If G-d is Love Then Why Can’t We Love One Another?
There are a variety of religions
around the world and I have only been exposed to a few of them in my life
however from what I have encountered so far all of them stress to love G-d and
to be the best person that you can be by doing the right things in life. My question then is if we love G-d with all
of our hearts why can’t we love one another? Although each person may not
observe the same religion as you, can’t we still accept one another and embrace
each other’s differences? Instead of this occurring, feuds are started about
who is right, who is just, and who is observing the “true” religion. This is
not a new concept as this has been observed throughout history with religious
wars. This was a time where people were killing one another in defense of their
own beliefs. How can this be okay? Even today this continues on and not only
physical killing but also spiritual killing occur as well. Imagine the following scenario, you have
believed in one thing your whole life and someone comes along and says that
your beliefs are false and the G-d you love with all your heart is not the true
G-d, and if you do not belief in their G-d then you are going to go to hell.
This can spiritually kill a person because their beliefs are challenged and their
whole being is challenged. Instead of doing this and hurting one another can’t
we just accept that person as they are?

I love this post so much - thank you for sharing it! I too hope that people are practicing with the right intention and producing good fruits of their labor because of it. Of course, the source of those intentions can vary but if they are positive forces in our lives and the lives of others I think that the variety is fantastic!
