Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself!

What do people get out of insulting folks & putting others down? Just plain intentionally trying to hurt and not help. Is it to make themselves feel better about themselves? Is it that their parents /guardians/ or other relatives put them down so they don't know any better and feel they should afflict the same on others? It's worse when you try to be kind to a person only for them to be negative and hurtful. Many seem to have deceived themselves into thinking that they can hurt others and the same seeds they are sowing will not be returned unto them. You do reap what you sow! Now if you sow good seeds(love & kindness) you will reap a harvest. When the farmer sows his seeds he does not in turn harvest the same day. So just because the harvest doesn't come right away doesn't mean it's not going to come. Depending on what you sowed will determine what you get. Unfortunately, it's due to lack of knowledge and getting caught up in the world's way and mimicking things that we see other people do whether it's our parents, other relatives, or friends. As Christians we are "in" the world, but we are not "of" the world. Don't dispair for the bible says in the book of Matthew 5:44-45, "BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THEM WHICH DISPITEFULLY USE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU: 45 "THAT YE MAY BE THE CHILDREN OF YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN: FOR HE MAKETH HIS SUN TO RISE ON THE EVIL AND ON THE GOOD, AND SENDETH RAIN ON THE JUST AND THE UNJUST. So don't fret, Because as long as you treat people good and love thy neighbor as thyself you will be blessed. ROMANS12 :14-21 says 14"Bless them which persecute you: bless and curse not, 15, "Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17" Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sightof all men. 18 " If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peacebly with all men. 19 Dearly beloved avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine: I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in do doing thou shalt reap coals of fire on this head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
