During my recovery group today the importance of being able to discern negative and potentially harmful people was discussed. This was mentioned as a particular problem when viewing all people through the lense of unconditional love, as mentioned in the last entry. Viewing all people as “beautiful and wonderful” could be dangerous if they did something potentially harmful. I realized that I actually prayed for and was granted discernment. I now trust people to be themselves and love them regardless of what they do. If they do something that could potentially be harmful, I get out of the way, expect it, and do not take it personally
