"Othering" is the psychological definition of evil. It means we've objectified someone and made them less than human. How might you resist this temptation today?
Thank you, Katelin, for your words today on "othering." Excellent. And really, really hard for me to apply when I look at Donald Trump and his minions. And so many other Republicans. And White Supremacists. And oil and gas executives and on and on....But your words challenge me and touch my spirit and call me to remember we are all from the same Creator. There is indeed a place to call out evil, and you rightly challenge me to come from a place of real love (accountability, justice, etc.) and not hate. Thanks for this vital reminder and I shall endeavor to live this out, with a few colossal mistakes here and there! :)
