We learn and we share, and thank God for the blessings, so many of us have moderated or toned our attitudes towards others, we are a little more inclusive than we were before. The more differing and opposing views we encounter, the more growth we see in us, which will bring a genuine balance in our approach towards life problems.
Real spirituality is connecting with what surrounds us; life and matter, meaning, you have learned to tune in with everyone. You are connected with everyone, and others are connected with the greater you like a round peg in a round hole. When you are spiritual conflicts fade and solutions emerge, and that brings genuine peace to you. It is worth raising ourselves from smallness to the expanse of the universe. The joy is immense!
Going through Gaza Crises, and asking my friends to keep this to a humanitarian issue has been a difficult one, but has been acceptable to most of you. If we cannot feel the sufferings of others, no matter who they are, there is a deficiency in our humanity. No matter who is right or wrong, we cannot justify or cherish the death and destruction of any human. Thank you for your belief in being a human first and making loyalty to your faith, nation or politics secondary to that.
Whenever you get a moment to ponder today, think about being spiritual and say a prayer for the victims of violence everywhere without favoring one over the other, and pray for guidance to those who need guidance to respect the otherness of others.
Light a candle for peace today.
Love the humanness in you!
