Not to assume that there's an important lesson to life.

We all pay for life with death, so everything in between should be free.

For me it has been understanding the true meaning of love.

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.

After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.

Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.

I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.

I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.

If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.

I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.

Love and blessings

LIVE ANALOGUE!

Install a mirror on everyone. Always do self reflect from other people's image. I think the most important lesson is to understand and get to know yourself. Retaining your identity and disposing of the non necessities.

To love.
If you can't learn that then you've got nothing! Absolutely nothing! Not even a crocodile tear.

The pursuit of happiness is everything we need. In the event of happiness eluding us we need a philosophy of life like there is a pleasure that can block all logic.

always look between the lines, there more out there if you just look.

Pay attention to the world around you.

Without God (Principle) life has no meaning. With God (selflessness) life is worth living
