Beautiful! Thank you! Yes, I completely agree. Be the example that you wish to see in the world. I think it’s good that we are aware of and can see the pitfalls/problems of religion and dogma, but with compassionate wisdom. One doesn’t want to shut his heart to others, even when they hate us. We are all doing the best that we can. And we as positive seekers of the open heart, can BE the example of loving compassion that others may not be able to express yet, at this moment. That’s okay, for the open heart loves freely, without condition. (And who knows what effect that freely given love may have on another. Maybe this “impossible” loving is just what is needed to begin one on the journey of opening his heart. It’s my belief that love and kindness goes a long way!) I can’t say I’ve mastered the open heart at all, but I am very willing to work on love for all.
