If we were to walk down the street to where a new neighbor moved in, and tell him he had no right to be there, what a strange thing this would be. If we told him he didn't belong, and to go back to where he came from, wouldn't that be odd?
I just ask us to reflect on what we are doing. This is not an analogy. It is exactly what we are doing. A person moves in at the end of our street, and we take offense and become hostile. We suggest they were suppose to get our permission before coming.
This is odd of us. It is strange that we should act this way.
Again, this is not an analogy. It is the living truth of how we treat them. And, the only way we can justify it is by turning it in to something it is not. We can suggest it is like them moving into our own homes, and taking up residence in our very own homes without invitation.
Excuse me, but, that is not what is happening.
No, they are but coming to the house down the street without our invite. That's all. They are moving in next door, and we, the welcoming neighbor, are taking offense.
Truth doesn't take a twisting and survive as truth that's straight. When you bend the truth, that isn't fair.
