In essence folks , we cannot be the change we wish to see until we wake up and realize that we are all truly ONE — that the homeless person on the street corner is not a “ bum ”; that the lover who lies to us is not a “ jerk ”; that our rich boss is not “ greedy ”. These are all PEOPLE — people who are in many ways just like you and me . They long to be liked , they long to be Loved , they long to be respected … and they long for someone to reach out to them in Kindness .
I know , our law-makers want us to “ behave ” and not cause too much trouble . I know , our society wants us to keep on judging and criticizing and condemning our enemies — to keep on walling ourselves off from the life of Compassion that would indeed prove to be our source of true Freedom .
Well , I say it ’ s time to BREAK FREE of all that … … and smiling at strangers is a great place to start .. ;)
“ It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive .” ~ Earl Warren ( U . S . Supreme Court Justice )
( The same is true of Kindness , Earl … and the same is true with Love .)
LOVE is a verb … … got LOVE ?
