I cannot believe this! After I sat here and wrote so much for 30 mins, in one click it mysteriously disappeared.
Regardless!
I want to share my million and one revelations I experienced today in the span of this morning to mid afternoon. Is watching three year olds in Ballet really that inspiring?
But bear with me, for my words hardly ever do any justice to expressing my thoughts.
Love and peace.
Without one, there isn't another.
I argue to relieve it of its taint as a hippie phrase and express it as the ink that fills every blank page.
All my motives can be simplified. Dedicated to those intentions I can spend the rest of my life infinitely growing.
Whether Jesus existed or not, at the moment is not the subject to argue, but rather examine the idea behind the man as an icon whose ideologies stand firmly among most things mentioned to date. to LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY. period.
unconditionally: adjective
not limited by conditions, absolute.
Too aloft to imagine a man who "loved" (whatever love may be, we'll attempt to define later) even those who hurt him. Couldn't be an understanding more distance from the true focus. Jesus exhibited the desire to accept all people. If the philosophies preached are even slightly approximate to the way Jesus actually felt, then he was never hurt. Hurt only occurs when one conjures it into existence. Hurt is relevant to all people, but if one's perspective shifts to the realization that hurt is only the fear of vulnerability then, others can no longer possess the will to hurt one's security and self assurance. Death pains through fear of what is unsure, selfishness and believing what occurred happened without justification, but the responsibility of justifying death is not laid upon us. Instead, when others have failed to meet the expectations to act in accordance to love and peace, replace hurt with compassion. Seek compassion in those who have yet to meet a life driven towards the ultimate purpose, rather than looking to them as enemies. Define Love as the selfless compassion for others. in turn; peace in self, partner, and community occurs.
If every person is born into the world free of charge, free of debt (regardless of characteristics only society has considered handicap) then, the space we have come to fill should be fulfilled through love and peace in order to increase the velocity of the evolution of the world towards the two (or one if looked as one in the same) greater good(s). The impact of good versus unjust or unsound is of equal weight. What seems as more evident or stronger is relevant. If there is a large body of still water, there is a collective unit of droplets to form the body. one small pebble can disrupt the serenity and cause ripples, but the weight and the size of the object's disruption is relevant to the mass of the body of water. the pebble's effect is only evident because the rest of the water was motionless, but the greater force dominates the result of state. just as to say the force of good reigns our security of living, though an individual may commit a crime and cause ripples that can shake up the community to an extent, it is the greater force that concentrates the ideals that that individual was in the wrong.
But if collectively we can think on a higher level, disruptions of pebbles then, are not attacks but follies of ignorance. Just as children. If we look at actions skewed from peace and love as hurtful and become defensive we only contribute to depriving the world of our part in the driving force of a current that raises the norm. Defense is a concept of war.
if we spend time mocking the monster of what it shouldnt be we trivialize and misguide our efforts away from peace and become critics.
Exhibit the model.
To have peace, I must have Love. To love I must forgive, through love compassion replaces forgiveness.
We exist to fulfill life, without our will life is obsolete, and yet to live is to seek life. We seek fulfillment in what only exists through our existence. Simply living is our fulfillment, when we mislead ourselves to believe fulfillment is found within people we minimize life to an egocentric world. Why else then should we live if we only seek fulfillment in the expectations we understand? Expectations are generally held when we believe in some way or another we can reach that point of accomplishment. it is a gift to share life's path and seek fulfillment with people, it is dangerous to solely rely for fulfillment in them.
