T-21.III.1. All special relationships have sin as their goal. For they are bargains with reality, toward which the seeming union is adjusted.
Forget not this; to bargain is to set a limit, and any brother with whom you have a limited relationship, you hate.
You may attempt to keep the bargain in the name of “fairness,” sometimes demanding payment of yourself, perhaps more often of the other. Thus in the “fairness” you attempt to ease the guilt that comes from the accepted purpose of the relationship.
And that is why the Holy Spirit must change its purpose to make it useful to Him and harmless to you.

Comment:
Unitarian Universalists covenant together to affirm and promote, in their third principal, the acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth.
The Universalist faith is based on the faith in unconditional love. Therefore, UU is an inclusive religion and exludes no one nor condemns them to hell.
Condtional relationships based on exclusivity and specialness separate and divide in which the ego rejoices, but God is the Tao, the Oneness of which we are all a part and from which we came and to which we will return.
The Spirit Of Life loves all of creation unconditionally. In this experience there is much peace.
May you experience the peace which is your natural inheritance.
