A friend speaks often to "Love Everything"! This advice was very hard for me to understand at first. Not that I consume myself with hate or negativity; but how can one love evil and evil doers? I finally understand my friend's wisdom.
To understand this, you must first get out of YOURSELF! That's right, you have to look at reality for what it is. Get out of your "dream world" for one second and put all your money, new cars, houses and issues aside. We are but a spec in this Universe. Earth, a planet among many others. Our Galaxy is one of infinite galaxies. We get so caught up in everyday life, we tend to forget this.
In this world, there is good and evil. No matter how good you think you are, somewhere beneath you evil is there. Some can control this better than others. How we control this is with our minds and our hearts. Our mind tells us "wrong doing" by the reaction we get from others when they are hurt. If good is winning over evil inside of you, you will learn from this and will figure the proper use of your ability to communicate to theirs by using your heart aka empathy. If you prefer to hurt others, you will choose the evil approach and say hurtful things to get a more "hurt/pain" reaction. If evil is winning over good in you, then you feel better when you hurt others. That part is really quite simple. You make the choice!
A spec who believes in a power greater than yourself, will choose good over evil. This person will likely try to help someone else today before helping themselves. A spec who is self centered believes the Universe owes them everything and in turn will use their evilness to get what they want and feel it is deserved. They help themselves only, suck help from others and will try to manipulate anything that gets in their way simply to get the reaction they need, no matter the cost.
This good and evil consumes us! We get involved in this battle so deeply that our spec brain forgets why we are here! When was the last time you watched the sunrise? What about noticing the colors in the sky when the sun is setting? Did your plant bloom a new flower or fruit today? Did you notice your child said thank you and I love you today? These are the gifts we forget to receive. Or maybe we are so busy with our spec brain lives because we think our jobs and money are so much more important than our gifts.
What about Nature and other Animals? There is a purpose and meaning for EVERYTHING. Even flies have a purpose even though they cause US great annoyance. How arrogant we are to think we deserve everything of this planet. I mean really.... Patricia, you are right! We should love everything!! If you give respect, you will get respect in return. Every spec has a purpose and meaning.
I challenge every one of you in 2012 to figure out what your purpose and meaning is. Some of you have been trying to figure this out for years. Your trying to measure it by your success in external things. Your purpose and meaning cannot be to make money and buy things. If you struggle to figure this out, then take my advice...simply put, help someone else with their purpose and meaning. If you see a quality they don't see in their selves and you know it would help others, help them find that about themselves. When you help someone else find theirs, just maybe you will find yours in the process. What do you have to lose?
We are but a spec anyway~ LOVE EVERYTHING
