real LOVE … ( 03 / 08 / 2012 )
“ Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding .” ~ Mohandas Gandhi
Over the course of human history , we humans have repeatedly shown that we are quite adept at being nice to our friends — at being “ kind ” when it is easy to do so . And yet , while such superficial friendliness is definitely a good thing to encourage , it is not going to bring us any further as a species , and it certainly won ’ t bring us any further as individuals either .
No my Friends , for us to get different results , we must choose to engage different behaviors . As such , for us to experience a sense of real Peace & lasting Joy in our lives , we must not only do what we ’ ve always done ( i . e . be nice to those who are being nice to us ), we must also choose to be Kind to those who are not .
Indeed , we ’ ve tried everything else over the past 10,000 + years , and nothing has brought us any lasting change . It ’ s high time we tried something new … It ’ s high time to try some courageous Kindness .
So , consider doing an anonymous Kind deed for a friend today … Consider extending some real Caring to a stranger … Consider having the guts to forgive an enemy .
After all , our LOVE only becomes powerful in those moments when it is difficult to give but is given anyway .
So … got LOVE ?
