Changes

Gwen: No, I really heard the answer to my question, that their [[judgment]] is based on [[ignorance]]. I [[understand]] that and helps me to be less judgmental and more sorry for them, to feel [[sympathy]]. But, sometimes it is just overwhelming and I just get so [[angry]] and it is very hard to keep from being judgmental. I am sure, as you said, as I grow older I will be able to learn how to be less judgmental toward those people and less [[frustrated]] with [[society]] in what I observe there...[[ignorance]] toward certain issues.

Michael: You see, in the [[evolution]] of a world, such as [[Urantia]], worldwide [[understanding]] grows out of certain [[facts]] of [[existence]]. One is a universal [[language]], another is a universal [[religion]], another is cultural exchange, and another is economic [[interdependence]]. It is impossible for people who are [[different]] from each other to meet for the first time without preconceived [[attitudes]] throwing up [[barriers]] and walls. I had the great [[advantage]] as a child to visit in my father's carpenter shop with travelers from all over the [[Near East]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_east Far East], and the [[Mediterranean]], for we lived very close to the [[crossroads]]. This gave me [[opportunity]] to meet all sorts of different people and this definitely [[assisted]] me in my human [[progress]] long before I knew that I was [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]]. I was able to become comfortable with great [[diversity]].

When I mentioned to you to look within and see if you are being judgmental toward yourself, Gwen, I really am inviting you to [[explore]] this as one of the [[mechanisms]] of the human [[mind]], the tendency to [[express]] outwardly [[criticism]] and [[anger]] that is really self directed.
