Here we go

This is one of the hardest things I am finding in Buddhism generally. It has a lot to do with my upbringing and societal context (As much as I can say that without apportioning blame), and I am sure many of you are the same.

there are just some things that arise in my mind that I find unacceptable. There are things going on in the world that I find unacceptable. Racism, sectarianism, to name merely two.

How does one find it in oneself to find an open, compassionate space for the things one finds unbearable and unacceptable?
