Cleansing myths … ( 12 / 11 / 2012 )
“ It is a very healthy endeavor now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted .” ~ inspired by Bertrand Russell
… & where shall we start hanging those question marks ? How about on the following beliefs :
Belief # 01 : “ It is both right & effective to punish “ evil people ” for their crimes ” … This one is simply not True . Condemning “ evil people ” by saddling them with their “ proper punishment ” only serves to encourage them to repeat their crimes again in the future .
Belief # 02 : “ You have to take care of yourself before you can effectively care for others ” … This one is not True either . In fact , the only time your LOVE is truly potent is when you give it to another while you are feeling “ crappy ” &/ or before you take care of yourself .
Belief # 03 : “ You are powerless and cannot make any real difference by yourself ” … You got it — this one is patently false as well . What we choose to do ( and why we choose to do it ) always has a HUGE impact on other people ’ s lives .
Please choose wisely , my Friends … Please choose Compassion …
Please choose Kindness … Please choose Love .
