Making The World A Better Place

[Ohr Ein Sof]

Any change which is primarily motivated by genuine love for others will eventually lead to a better world.

I so agree. I think there is space for both the acceptance and love of the world as it is, and the pursuit of ideals in hopes they manifest more and more.

I believe freedom is one of the highest manifestations of love. There is supposed to be a saying, if you like a flower you pick it and take it home, if you love a flower, you leave it. Changes which increase freedom of the individual will be the most beneficial in the long run.

Individual freedom is a very high ideal for me as well. However how do the other ideals of commitment, duty and protection sit within this picture? Aren't there cases where love is also expressed by the limitations that we put on our individual freedoms?

Why do you think or feel there are limitations that express love? I am curious is all...perhaps for a deeper explanation? Idk. It seems far reaching as one can find love even in limitation because it has been done many times before. This can be seen when we are able to apply higher ideals to the limitations of Saturn but not without loads of inner work. So, if you will, give a deeper explanation?
I also am a lover of freedom as this is one expression of love according to my own understanding. I could not imagine losing not one of my freedoms, but if I did, I would reach within (just after my rant) to find the love and the balance to restore my faith and strength. Thank you Lbell
****I sort of see Dtris' perspective as well this is why I am asking.
