It was a request, not a demand.
The sad thing is that I would even have to ask for it. It boggles my mind.
Again, the focus is thrown back at self ("someone asked something of me"), rather than simply extend compassion to younger other-selves.
They don't like analogies, Diana. I found that out the hard way. Analogies are, apparently, taboo on this thread. I offered a similar analogy and all hell broke loose. I was suddenly the 'offensive' one for making analogies.
And if I request that you extend compassion toward vegetation?

Are you seeking on thing from me? Are you seeking to surface a primal anger from within me?
These things are unneccessary. These perspectives are not what Ra intended to teach.
I am doing no such thing. I was making a direct analogy to what you said, with something you might be able to relate to.
Do you not understand the comparison?
Do you not understand that you going to such an extreme comparison is most likely a desire for you to find inside of me, to search for hate. We shouldn't be here encouraging one another to burn with anger toward an entity.
Monkey, you are missing my point, entirely.
I certainly do not ever wish to encourage that.
Then why ask it?
