Using Love When Meeting Strangers

So I’ve done this a few times where I remind myself to love people especially when out in public. What I’ve noticed is that I make more eye contact with people and I feel warmer about people. I’m not so afraid of people when I try this out. The only problem is I don’t keep it up.

So it’s so easy to ignore people and get on with your day. That’s what most of us do on a daily basis especially in a white dominated society. I find white people quite distant and keeping to themselves. They aren’t in general ones to reach out to others, even to themselves.

So I will continue with this experiment just to document my feelings and mood. It’s interesting because on a daily basis I am constantly looking out for racism which could happen but it exhausting. I wonder if loving thy neighbor will help eliminate negative feelings towards strangers.i shall see tomorrow.
