There is a reciprocity between heart and mind. Those whom we respect and admire are of greater influence to our thinking than those we dislike. And our principles may evolve, creating more distance from who we once admired and drawing us to connect with others.

Lately I have been really noticing that there is a moral sense that it’s less important what is done and more to whom it is done. Every human and faction has undesirable elements that we’re more likely to excuse and overlook if we feel aligned with them, and the inverse is also true. I’m not saying this is the pinnacle of morality, only that it is a factor we may not be wholly admitting.

This brings up some confronting possibilities about the stances we take. But also there are factions within factions. I may get along better with an ideological opponent that shares some similar values than people I largely agree with but who have strategies Ito which I am averse.

Today Venus feels like she wants to show who she loves by taking a stance.
