Love

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     Most of the time when we turn on the news, the reports that we hear are disasters, murders, the latest in politics and so on. These stories, however gruesome, or negative they might sound are not the fault of the news presenter / anchors, as they are just doing their job. There are good, happy stories that we hear as well. But most of the time, the negative focus is purposely done to evoke a certain emotion within the audience. The natural and humanitarian crisis that take place all across the globe, evoke fear, anguish, anxiety, and inevitably they restrict / limit a persons individual actions, and thought because of fear. Of course there are many other ways individuals hear of the current events, such as: newspapers, or from word of mouth. These are also creating the same effect. Now I don't write this to evoke fear either, but rather to create awareness. Once we do become aware, we should be able to hear current events, without feeling that the stories are trying to mold us. As it is important to know what is happening around you, surrounding yourself and your environment. 

     Another facet of this thought is the emphasis upon negative emotions. This might seem unimportant, but there are underlying responses within the brain, that are constantly forming our habitual thinking. In the context of this writing, we can think about how negativity and fear can affect ones thoughts and actions. But instead of thinking about this response only, how can we overcome to reclaim a healthy emotional state? The answer is quite simple. It is to love. Love.

     One must focus upon the positive emotions. If you think about it, fear can debilitate so much so that we forget our very own basic need to love. Love for the self, and love for each other. The power of love is much more greater that fear. But today we see how fear is taking over, with limiting, control and destruction.  That leaves individuals thinking that this is how they are supposed to live their lives. It is if you continue to feel that. To continuously move forward, you must release the fears. Don't give power to fear. Give power to what you love. It sounds easer that it is. It is far more easier to destruct, than it is to build and create for the purpose of love. But then I wonder what if we gave power to what we love, will we be able to salvage the power of love, will love be able to conquer the evil forces of fear?
