What we give

Posted on by philipdodson

What we want from others can only be as much as we are prepared to give and we have to be prepared to be that person first without any condition or attaching anything to our actions.

If we want more love we have to be love

If we want more kindness we have to be kindness.

If we want more empathy we have to be empathetic.

We have these expectations of others which we could choose to have none and then there can not be disappointment.

What we give out will come back. We have to be the light and example not simply expect it from others.

It’s all lies

Posted on by philipdodson

Inside our bubble of the same opinions we do not hear the voice of the other bubble.

This is where the human race is right now, in multiple bubbles not hearing a word of what anyone says if they aren’t from our bubble of opinions.

Fear of even being slightly contaminated by another contrary view leads the members of one bubble to wage hate-fuelled war on the other contrary group.

There is no longer any open respectful debate just hatred of anything different to our view.

The bubble cries out ‘it’s all a lie’ and where does this leave human race?

Fearful, hateful and lacking any compassion, empathy or understanding of our fellow human.

Bursting the bubble takes courage and vulnerability, we have to let go of our egos and listen to the others and understand them first, before we have any chance of them wanting to understand us. We have to be brave enough to be first and not wait for others to burst their bubble.

The alternative is staying stuck in our hate-filled bubble echoing only our own voice.
