When was the last time that you made a decision out of love? Sure, maybe for your family, your kids... but what about making a decision out of love simply because it is love that you want to spread? Making your decisions not only about you and your family, but for others? People who have done nothing for you, who you don’t even know?
I have always tried to help others as much as I could, whenever I could and I’ll admit it, sometimes it gets frustrating; you think that things may never change, that you alone can’t make much of a difference. You struggle feeling helpless, even though you think that you do everything you can... there will always be suffering, there will always be injustice, inequality, liars, cheaters, racists, thieves and people who care only about themselves. But... nothing is perfect, nobody is perfect; and while it may be easy to see everything that is wrong with the world and with our lives and yes there is a lot...
“What can we do in the face of all this madness and chaos? What is the solution?”
“We can love.”
“Real love, true love, boundless love.”
“Love each other from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to bed. We can perform an act of kindness because that is contagious, we can be mindful during every interaction planting seeds of goodness, showing a little more compassion than usual. We can forgive.”
“Instead of trying to change others, we can change ourselves, change our hearts”.
