Anti-Semitism Learned

My interest in anti-Semitism began with learning. Previous family members repressed our Jewish heritage. They feared the anti-Semitism existing within society. I decided on a different route.

I registered for courses on Judaism, being taught at a local Synagogue. I learned beliefs, experiences, and attended their services. I had conversations and became friends with the Rabbi and members of the community. I learned and became what I chose. It was all an enjoyment of thinking and learning.            

Resolving problems is often a development of choosing to think and learn, a responsibility of self. That a person, thinking of an idea and of a wanting to learn, will create the thinking needed to begin the questioning and development of the idea. As this learning becomes, so too does a thinking and learning of becoming more. A learning that affects the development of self. A learning that begins to create freedom. 

Thinking creates freedom. Consider a person living their life within the perimeters of laws limiting behavior without limiting freedom or the development of freedom. Laws that are good and true like not committing murder, adultery, stealing, lying, and coveting. Laws that living within their limits create development, a learning of thinking and becoming one's own.   

People that have developed this freedom as a part of their thinking are usually their own. These people then, of freedom and that think, are frightening to those whose interest is of power, control, of telling people what are the correct thoughts for them to think. An effort with a purpose to limit thinking, where each person's development becomes only less.                    

The thinking then, the correct thoughts of people that are, or have become a weakened version of themselves often become a failure. They easily develop bigotry like anti-Semitism from their need to develop a hatred of others so they don’t have to consider their hatred of themselves, their failures. This is the same failed processes of thinking, existing in many that commit violent hate crimes. It’s all, not very complicated. Hate takes away the freedom of a person's thinking.     

I learned this in my experiences. I wrote about it while in a process of thinking and learning of my developmental failure. I repressed the thoughts and emotions, memories of love. I learned. Relations fail. People fail. Yet love doesn't. Love is forever. So I know from experience how these developmental failures can occur and the consequences. I wrote and learned about it. I thought, wrote, learned, and corrected it. Part of becoming one's own is effectively dealing with thoughts and emotions.                   

The courses and discussions at the Synagogue created ideas for thinking and learning. I learned and wrote about a person becoming their own, the success of effecting thinking, and being happy. That this too is a development of self. An accomplishment of the successful thinking in becoming one's own, that simultaneously creates the freedom of self, of a person becoming more.

I learned, a problem with Judaism and anti-Semitism is learning. That anti-Semitism began after Mt Sinai, as the Jewish people developed the freedom of becoming their own. That this freedom would create a fear in those that controlled their people. A fear that if people learned of this freedom, they would lose their power, control. Today anti-Semitism still exist. It is still a fear, of the freedom of people becoming their own. A fear that any learning of Judaism will begin a freedom of people becoming.
