I remember a meme about if you just replaced the word god in the bible with flying spaghetti monster people would look at it as absurd as it is instead of thinking about how you couldn't criticize GOD. Telling a person you have no faith in their flying spaghetti monster would not turn in to some discussion anyone could with a straight face take seriously "DON'T SAY THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTERS NAME IN VAIN"
I think using the word love is kind of similar. How about you have a radiant, beneficial attitude towards all things living and non-living because you understand that is the good in your mental universe, and hating will never get rid of hatred. You have a positive intent. Forgiveness is important. You recognize that is higher than any other in a supreme way that goes beyond what most people would recognize it as. It's divine, it is what is right. Using love as the word has too many misconstrued connotations.
You don't have to necessarily -like- everyone.
Eventually I understood that no one is -obligated- to be friendly to you, just as much as you aren't to anyone. What kind of attitude is it for example.. to be frustrated that not everyone wants to be your best friend? Sounds extremely immature. I'd feel the same way about someone if someone expected me to feel that way toward absolutely everyone I came in to contact with.
After being disappointed in so many people it's what I boiled it down to..don't expect people to be perfect or perfectly the way you want them to.
It's the difference in thinking like an adult and someone living in their own sugary world. I think the Ra material is an attempt to make people perfect even though we can't really be but it will bring you closer toward the concept of it.
