On this planet there are nearly seven billion people. They all have to eat. They all have to drink. They all wish that they could get a little more sleep! They all have mothers, they all have fathers. They all wish that some of their relationships were a little less difficult! They all have beliefs, too. Even the ones who claim to have no belief, only believe themselves to be belief-free. They all yearn for peace. One tiny drop of a strong chemical can be enough to clean (or pollute) a huge tank of water. You would not think that it could spread so far and make such a difference but the smallest amount is all it takes. It is the same with love. And with anger. Just the tiniest quantity of resentment, jealousy or fury can be sufficient to spoil an otherwise happy situation. And just a little love can be similarly transformative. Unless, that is, the anger has gone in first. Then, the antidote needs to be far stronger. Remember this.Sunday, 14 April 2013
