    Perhaps the question is not "can you?" but "should you?".  I try to avoid difficult people as much as possible.  I don't wish them any harm, I just don't want them in my life.

    I think in light of Jesus commands its not so much a question of can we but will we. The point is its never easy to love anyone but to those that can overcome anger, prejudice, and even hate, and love those society deems unlovable, and look past the outside and see the inner creation of God, then love is possible. Jesus loved even those who crucified him, yet we can't love someone of another group. belief or society. How sad is that?

    I am not religious, but I think I know a bit about love. I wrote a hub on the subject.

    Love is the answer. People get so caught up in their definitions of God and religion and atheism...there is Love in all because it is people that show the Love that is All (God, religions, atheism, nature, etc). It's the ego that has to be right in their definitions, instead of just accepting each other where ever they are...big_smile

    Very,very sad.  Even sadder is that so many feel so righteous when they feel pity for hard cases but then can't feel anything but anger for others.

    Yes.
    If you can't love them by yourself,  then it's possible to pray for God to give you a heart of Love for those people.

    You don't have to associate with them much,  but the Bible does command us to Love everyone, even our enemies.

    He Loves them all,  even though He will pass judgement upon them someday.  When I have a hard time Loving someone, I remember that He loves their souls, and I shouldn't refuse to do likewise.

    Buit do you practice what you preach?

    Religion is full of do gooders - those who have a 'need' to be seen doing the right thing.

    But just how many of these religious do-gooders are prepared to love the following :

    Paedophiles

    Sexual deviants

    Drug pushers

    Homosexuals

    Serial killers.

    All thse would be classed as difficult. So therefore, as church going, do-good, christians you should all be able to find a special place in your hearts for the odd paedophile and raving homosexual? Correct?

    I don't think its possible to practice universal love (as Jesus advocated) at the physical, personality level.

    To be able to do this we need to raise our consciousness to the level of the soul / higher self / divinity. At this level of consciousness it should be possible to "salute (love) the divinity within the person". I believe that this is what is meant by "namaste".

    At this level of consciousness, you look through and beyond the physical characteristics or acts of the person, and see only their divinity. At this level it is possible to love everyone. I believe this is what Jesus did.

    Of course if you don't believe in our divinity then you won't agree with this.

    One cannot love until one loves thyself.  Loving oneself unlocks the ability to love others, which all should do.  Perhaps peace would be attained.

    Stop preaching codswallop.

    I will find you a paedophile and I will want you to love him. Love him with your whole being. From his head to his toe.

    If, as a church going, law abiding, God-worshipping citizens who all love thyselfs and see beauty in everything, then it really should not be much of a leap to find a nice little paedophile chappy who you can love with all your heart.

    Lets hold hands my christian chums and send some love towards those beastly paedophiles. they are not bad, just misunderstood, right?
