Lately there seems to be so contentions, angers, frustrations with in the Pagan community. Members are either leaving or taking a break from YouTube do to their personal frustration with how they and others are being treated. They feel either used or that there is a lack of respect. Even on some Pagan boards some engage in bashing or a general lack of acceptance and respect.
Personally I think this is a very sad and disheartening trend. We face ridicule, rejection, hatred, lack of understanding, etc., from some Christians and even non-Christians. Does this sentiment really need to be perpetuated with in our own Pagan community? Is this not what caused some of use to leave our previous religions and ultimately lead us to our current paths?
I will not say we should all be swimming in a pool of love, joy, rainbows and butterflies (thought that would be nice) but at the very least let us all respect each other and all living things. We do not need to agree or see eye to eye (that would make for a boring world) but respect the right for others to think and believe differently.
I don't know, my heart just feels heavy and sad. Where will this current path lead. I just wonder...
Let us be beacons, guides to a better way to coexist.
