Yet, doesn't that vary with who we believe our Supreme Guide is ...and what we believe we are called to do??
What do we think of jihad? And even the meaning of that is often distorted ...to mean what men would desire it to mean for a time, to achieve what they want to see happen.
What if I were in a room with others, some of them praying for my destruction? Would that seem like a good thing?? And to whom???
Even if they are not praying in a way that I may feel unsafe or threatened, I would not wish ill upon anyone else in the group either. If I felt someone was in error, and I believed their error could hurt them, what does that say of me if I just apathetically view it as their problem, not mine??
And do you label me as something other than I am ...if I truly believe what I think, and act out of compassion because of my beliefs? Do you ignore my compassion, and say I am not compassionate??
If you were filming a movie, and I came onto the scene ...thinking it was real, and ran into the burning house to save the screaming child, would you be angry because I ruined the scene? Or would you admire me for my bravery, and compassion for others?
