Caring/Compassion/Sensitivity/Tact vs Lying/Faking

just how are you going to be "positive" explaining your point to those chinese workers (?).

I'm not really sure why that's been directed at me, I've made no comment on Steve and the practices of Apple. Those people are experiencing their own lessons, and there is a much grander plan behind third density incarnations that we do not really understand, although we try.

I merely re-iterated a point made by Steve that how one presents themselves can have an effect on people, and not caring about said effect could be depolarising if one is on the path of STO:

"I don't care if my actions offend you, as this is the way we do it around here"

To me, that seems like an STS statement. I offered the notion to unity as food for thought. Culture can be the trap that defines what is morally acceptable - the norm - albeit STS or STO.

A rather profound quote:

All you have to do, to control the direction of the world,
to control the direction of peoples thinking,
and set the point of reference from which the media reports the world,
is to set the norms in society.

Set what people are conditioned to believe is right or wrong, possible
or impossible, sane or insane.

Most people will live their lives within those norms,
that hassle-free zone, that comfort zone,
and most of the rest realise that the norms are flawed
but will still live their lives within them,
because they fear the consequences of being
different in a world of uniformity.

It becomes a hassle to be different."

and now someone is equating that political correctness concept with kindness and compassion, saying they transcend language, race etc etc.

If that 'someone' is indeed pointed at myself, I never made such a connection.

The point is this; we're all different, on our own paths. Choosing love in the moment - the most useful thing one can do in our lives - entails kindness and compassion. That means thinking of other selves. If you know that the mannerisms of your own culture can offend others, you have the choice to not do so.

That choice is your own free will, and is neither right or wrong. I'm not telling you what to choose, rather simply highlighting the fact that being considerate of others is a means of polarising positively.
