What My “Bear-Maul” Scar Can Teach Us About Hatred and How Acceptance Helps Us All

Sounds pretty nasty, right? Well, I hate to disappoint, but my scar wasn’t actually from a bear attack. But the story behind it, and the lesson it can teach us pertaining to hatred and rejection, is invaluable. In this episode, we delve into the category of automatic assumption, judgment, and misunderstanding; then, using my body’s rejection of sutures thinking they are not good for me, we talk whole-heartedly about how we can, instead, choose to ask questions, open our minds and hearts, and self-reflect in order to challenge and overcome bias and hatred, something that is better for us all.  We go through a list of 8 ways to more actively and compassionately understand one another, move past any hang-ups, give back, and realize the GOOD in our differences. At a time when we need understanding the most, let us come together to explore how we can defeat the nasty beast of hate by learning how to listen, embrace, and love.
