As society evolves its consciousness, new understandings surface that seek to acknowledge, respect and protect various individuals and groups. While the intention may be to increase openness and respect, some rules (and their proponents) actually have the opposite effect. In the zeal to protect one group, they blame or shame others, unconsciously coercing them to change their behavior. This approach often backfires by causing resistance to a worthwhile goal. Raising awareness through education, compassion and understanding is far more effective than attempting to change others through condemnation. In the end, we only evolve our consciousness…
When we’re ready.
