Don't ask......

I asked and I got an answer. Go figure.....

"So, g'head......what's unconditional loving about then--enlighten me, oh great wisepersoninmylife...."

Here's what I got back in return:



Simple. In the words of someone wiser than I, "it's:



  • To call forth a personal sense of responsibility, and the capacity to make wise choices.

  • To point out weaknesses people have, - but very caringly so that the best in the person is drawn forth in response, rather than resistance.

  • To challenge and celebrate as people strive and attain, and discover their true selves..

  • To help people work on their habits and weaknesses so that they become stronger.

  • To show them how to use their personal power correctly.

  • To help people learn to cooperate, and thus to overcome their little egos.

  • To engage people in working for humanity.

  • To teach people how to overcome their prejudices, resentments, separative tendencies, vanities, illusions, and other blocks to their own joy.

"Unconditional love causes you to see what has really caused a situation and to see through the outer appearances to the true needs of yourself and others, without criticism of yourself or others .
It causes you to see the basic good in yourself and others.
Unconditionally loving people see their own errors and joyfully self-correct them .
They love themselves, others and the Source of Life, and therefore the whole of life.
In particular, they are inclusive, and can maintain love and goodwill towards both the apparent "victim" and "oppressor" in a situation.
They seek to radiate their inner harmony and joy, peace and healing into any situation - without conditions or expectation of reward, and independently of the thoughts, feelings, and actions of others.
They are group conscious and do not react by immediately taking sides.
They serve the cause of peace and goodwill, and can often find ways to a fair solution of conflict that are not available to emotionally charged people."


Any more questions?



My response?


"HOLY Crap......."


LOL Ask a question from wisepersoninmylife and you get an answer.
NOT that I'm arguing the content----yet....LOL
I gotta absorb it first.
THEN I can plan my attack! ;-)

I'm gonna blame point number two.
*nodding smuggly*
If he'da just pointed it out caringly enough.........

Ah, this is something I needed to read today in this form. I mean I know about unconditional love and/but a situation has come up and my first instinct is to not be very nice about it and the next is that in order to deal with this, I do have to put this into practice and I have to be very careful.

People's egos are so fragile. One wrong word can send some folks into a spin --- I know, it's happened to me quite a bit in my life and it's only been lately I've learned it doesn't have to be that way.

Thanks Mel, much love and peace.
