Evil is a concept begun to allow us to act as if it were a force
beyond our influence.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The moment I realize every action I take is important, contributes either positively or negatively to the world, evil has no power.
Whose responsibility is my being grounded?
In the situations I have witnessed, there is no divine intervention. All we have is each other. We create our own problems, and it is up to us to solve them. Deliberately to remove oneself from this dialogue is a way of turning one’s back and confirms the sad proposition that a perfection of means but a confusion of aims is the misfortune of our time.
James Nachtwey, The Inferno
If, at this very second, each person began to realize that
EVERYTHING we do counts,
can you see that there would be more than enough energy and focus necessary to create
A World That Works for Everyone?
What story have you told yourself about why that doesn’t include you?
There are only two conditions: LOVING KINDNESS and OTHER.
To work for peace, you must have a peaceful heart. To preserve peace, our hearts must be at peace with the world, with our brothers and our sisters. Trying to overcome damage with damage is not the way to make peace.
Thich Nhat Hanh.
(The word evil has been replaced with the word damage by Bill.)
How will I choose to be today?
With all the love I know!
Namaste!
