Control, fear, doubt and anger; these are the real deadly killers of
the human race. We hurt ourselves by feeling these emotions and we
hurt others by directing these emotions at them.
But what if we could direct unconditional love to whomever we meet?
What then? Could we help the world be a better place? Maybe, maybe
not but we'd certainly help ourselves. Why do we let other people
hurt us? Because we put expectations on them, expectations that we
ourselves have failed to live up to with others.
If you love someone you feel it and that feeling is yours. Look at
children. We still love our children when they disappoint us why not
our workmates, teachers, friends and most of all partners? It's
because we put conditions on what we give out.
Who hasn't bought a present or done a job around the house expecting
something in return - why? If you want to help someone or give
something you choose to do it because you want to, not for "Brownie
Points". No other reason than just because you want to - that is
showing love.
You can help an old lady with her groceries and it feels good so why
not with everything else?
When you learn that giving love without expectation is the purest of
all faith, then and only then, will you be on the road to really
knowing yourself.
