Although we, -that is to say: our inherent Ego,- would wish to be liked and understod by all and sunder, this is, of course, as little the case as the fact that we our-selves like and understand everyone else around us. The beauty of life lies in its diversity and and although once we have attained to a state of counsciuosness, which encompasses the feeling unconditional love towards all that IS, this does not include liking everyone, nor does it render us likeable to everybody. For the personality part in us has its limitations and becoming illuminated does not make us super-humans for as long as we still live in Earth. Even in Nature there are not affinities everywhere. For example there are ceratin plants which will not prosper next to another variety, whereas planted next to a different one they flourish.
However, not liking everyone and everything we meet with- and vice versa- does not have to hinder us from accepting them, from recognizing their uniqueness and equality and respecting their being different from us. The key hereto lies in the awareness of our reactions and thoughts at all times. Observing them without attaching further importance to them, that is to say; identifying with them, frees us from getting caught up in our natural likes and dislikes. Also from our inherent wish to always please in order to be liked universaly our-selves. If we follow the latter instinct of the Ego, we deny our own truth and thus become seperated from our own reality. It requires strength of character, however, to fully accept that our personality is not always pleasing to and understood by all. Also, that by simply not liking everyone we encounter does not make us a bad or selfish person. Of course, this does not imply we need unnecessarily go around telling people we do not like them, nor care about being liked and understood by them. The Truth is usually silent- yet always distinct. The Ego-parts in those who come into touch with it might react offended and hurt at times, yet this must not concern you nor shake your trust in your own reality of being.
