I agree with you. It's a lonely world for those that think and feel like you and I do. You are not alone.
Love is, itself, on our side, and our happiness is what really sets us apart, my friend.
And, remember, they think they're correct, I know I'm correct, and right, too. Peace be with you. We love you.
The confidence is concerning.
And, wow, the nominative determinism in these comments is fantastic.
Yes, it takes a brave person to accept that they have to change, and that all their underpinnings of existence are deeply flawed and the cause of the world's sufferings. Ignorance is destructive, my friend, to both our and others' happiness.
Compassion is the Way, and it cannot be argued, from even just a basic systems theoretic standpoint.
I claim only to be in awe of this reality, and see glimpses of an intelligence and love larger than myself. I strive to align my action, thoughts, feelings and intentions to be in service to all life and guided by the dim glimpses of that which is beyond thought and form.
You have brought me a smile this morning, my friend. Once again, nominative determinism is evident in this comment section.
Peace be with you. We love you. If you wish to learn more of our Sufi understanding of our world, my comments over the past week explain a great deal. It doesn't look like you need it, though. Thanks for your comment on this gentle morning; it makes me happier still.
After checking our your profile, I'll say that I just played that Peter Tosh song for the teenagers the other day. It's so beautiful.
Such lessons teach us humility and, as you intuit, a healthy respect for our weaknesses. I am not confident in what I say because I'm better than anyone; I've just trod a very different path, as you can see from today's gang-on.
The fact of the matter is that there is a point one can reach where we go from thinking to knowing. I've been over a half century on this Earth, nearly half of it dedicated to compassion, and it is time for humanity to wake up to our positive potential.
I love you, my friend. So long as our convictions are to be kind and humble and generous and as gentle as possible, our mistakes will grow fewer by the day. As Machiavelli said so long ago, "We must aim above the target if we are to hit it."
