Love
I was thinking … out of all our feelings, what is the one that can bring us most joy and peace? Love, love for ourselves and love for eachother.
Like everything in life , such understanding is a long and continuous process that can be influenced at any time by other factors, if we let it. In many aspects of the world today, love tries to be replaced by negative feelings such as separation, division, hatred, being afraid and so on. We are bombarded with a plethora of news, articles and information that everything around us is bad and cannot be improved as such task is too big and no one knows where to start. How the stories are being build, emphasize the duality of our world and that is visible in all topics : Gender wars, Generation wars, Culture wars, Race wars, Religion wars and so on. We get the feeling that conflict is present in every aspect of our existence. Do we truly have a conflict or we have a divergence of opinions that can be easily adressed by simply accepting that it is healthy and normal to have different points of view? Only by listening and trying to understand the other party, by keeping an open mind and learning from each interaction, growth will follow. There is a certain beauty that demand our attention, in how our diversity bring us closely together.
Most of us want a bright future for us, our families and if possible, for all people of this earth but reaching such a beautiful goal seems out of our reach, as for each positive news are 10 fold negative ones which seem to engulf it.
What if, instead of listening to all that negative nonsense, we start spreading love and good to everyone and everything we get in contact with? Can we just take a moment and imagine how our world would look like? The transformation will not happen instantly but doesn’t it worth taking this small step within ourselves to extinguish those negative feelings and build the future we all want? Of course, many will laugh at you in the beginning for being so naive. Let them do it, don’t try to judge or change anyones point of view directly, as advice can be easily poorly interpreted. Let your actions speak for themselves and go on your path, as you know and feel that it is the right one.
If you think you are too small to do or change anything please reconsider your opinion. Starting from helping oneself in being a better person to helping someone in need, taking the time necessary will no longer feel like a burden. Giving a heartfelt smile to the cashier on the counter, reaching to help an elderly person, asking an homeless person about his day and offering help, volunteering to help at an animal shelter, the examples are counteless where You can start Today to spread Love. Don’t limit yourselves in thinking that won’t change anything. The power to change the world lies within us and the best way to start, is by trying your best being a good person to everyone within your reach.
Until next time, with all my love,
