In many ways, our world is in a sad state.
People are making choices that affect humanity that are not about love, compassion, kindness and peace. It’s about money, control, race, gender, and so many more even less flattering things to base a life on.
And it royally sucks that this separation is happening at all.
“You are this, therefore you deserve that. We are not the same and how we are treated is not the same”.
It boils down to people being put into categories based on what others think they are or are not and what they deserve or don’t deserve. And those of us who are not of either group are expected to make a choice about who to support.
For me, there is no choice. Like the people reading this, I’m clear that I stand for love, and I want to lead my life with loving, compassionate values. That means when people are wounded, we step up.
But my dilemma is when I ask myself where I will draw the line, if at all. I will continue to show up for the wounded, of course, but I don’t want to hate. I don’t even want to hate the haters; I see that only perpetuating the problem and separating us even more.
I also don’t want to watch them in action. I have no need to listen to the news or hear the latest rants; I know that what I need to know will cross my path when I need to know it. It’s not healthy for us to immerse ourselves in the nitty-gritty of hate.
I know that the way to create change is to share so much friggin’ love that there is absolutely no room for hate. Love is the answer to healing and living in flow. It means we apply a lens of love to everything we see and do. It means we reflect on how to do that in ways that we know will honour us and others, as well as our collective values.
Love is also how we help others heal. One can’t be around someone who is truly loving and not feel the need to love as well. Frequency will win every time. Imagine what the world will look like when we are filled with unconditional love.
I love humanity, and I don’t want to live separated from any part of it. We are all one, after all. I try to remember that even when I think of the people living and behaving in less than loving ways toward me or others. And I will remember that when I miss a step or two myself, I can always start over again.
I will also allow myself to grieve through the emotion of what’s happening to us and to this planet. We, along with Mother Earth, know that money and power still win over humanity each time we dishonour the earth. It’s heartbreaking that we can only do our small part to help her, but at least we can do that. In our house, we’ve added to our planet-saving plan by refusing to buy anything in packaging that is not recyclable or compostable. Baby steps turn into bigger ones.
It’s very sad that this current state of the world is part of our current state of consciousness. But it doesn’t need to be that way forever.
I will keep on loving. I will keep refusing to judge or hate. I will keep on being there for others who need a hand up.
Love will win. Care to join me?
