It is often said in terms of morality and common sense, "Let's understand others." However, the basic principle is to understand without necessarily agreeing. Agreement is only necessary when you are truly convinced, and if you cannot understand, you can simply put understanding and interpretation on hold, and there is no need to "agree" in that case. In this complicated world, these kinds of words can be used as convenient excuses for energy vampires, who drain energy from others by forcing them to agree. While it is necessary to "understand" in a broad sense, it is not always necessary to "agree" with other people's opinions. Even if you understand, you do not necessarily have to emotionally empathize.
In most cases, especially for those who have not studied spirituality or who are living a life filled with desires or stress, people live by "projecting" their own image onto others. This is the same as what is said in psychoanalysis, where people see their own image in others, but they do not realize that it is their own image. People who are living a stressful life often say, "I feel like the people around me are laughing at me," or "I feel like they are making fun of me." This state is called "projection."
In reality, this "projection" continues even after spiritual growth. As spiritual growth progresses, people may feel that others are "enlightened." This is also a function of "projection."
In the case of ordinary people, this "projection" is often accompanied by stress, so they tend to point out various problems and shortcomings to others. However, in reality, these criticisms are often the person's own image. Therefore, there is no need to agree with such opinions. For example, even if you are criticized for various things in school life or at work, if those criticisms are "projections," there is no need to agree with those opinions.
This is what is recently called "moral harassment." People who live by projecting their own image onto others often point out things while projecting their own image onto others, and if the person being criticized does not agree, they may persistently pressure them with phrases like, "Why can't you understand?" or "Why don't you understand something as simple as this?" However, since it is just a projection, it is natural not to understand, but the person who is projecting does not even realize that their own image is being projected onto others. If you associate with people who project their own stress or desires onto others and demand agreement, you will get involved in troublesome situations.
In school life or social life, if you "agree" with opinions that are morally harassing, you end up receiving the other person's energy. In reality, that energy should be resolved by the person themselves, but it shifts to someone else. The person who made the comment is actually "projecting" their own problems, but because the energy has shifted, they feel relieved, while the person who agreed and accepted it ends up dealing with problems that are not their own energy. They are not only energy vampires, but also pushing the burden of stress relief onto others. For the person who is being pushed, it is a troublesome situation. Therefore, it is best not to engage with the other person from the beginning; the key is to maintain a stance of "not agreeing."
Even if you don't agree, if you are a medium, your defenses may be weak, and the energy can enter through fluctuations in your aura. Even if your aura's defenses are strong, if you are manipulated by the other person's will and "agree," you will end up receiving their energy.
People who engage in moral harassment persistently and relentlessly approach you, sometimes shouting or using intimidation to break through your aura's defenses or force you to lower your defenses. If possible, the first thing to do is to distance yourself from such moral harassment. However, if you cannot distance yourself, or if it is a temporary situation, it is important to simply "not agree" and move on.
Sometimes, because you don't agree, you may be treated badly. However, people who engage in such moral harassment will eventually become isolated as their companions leave. Just leave them alone.
Spiritual people tend to want to "help," but it is almost impossible to help someone who is not self-aware. Especially with people who are "projecting" their problems onto others and feeling irritated or angry, there is little you can do for them. The only thing you can do is "not agree." Because you see things so differently, you can no longer even have a conversation. As stated in Buddhism and the Yoga Sutra, "do not engage with people who lack morality" is the correct approach.
