Our problem is that inside us there’s a mind going, “Impossible, impossible, impossible. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t.” We have to banish that mind from this solar system. Anything is possible; everything is possible. Sometimes you feel that your dreams are impossible, but they’re not. Human beings have great potential; they can do anything. The power of the mind is incredible, limitless.
~Lama Yeshe
Many times we forget that,we don’t actually get hurt because we give love to others..we get hurt when we are expecting to get that back the way we prefer..Here,i am not talking about only intimate love relationships..that includes as well but at work..between friends or between anybody that we come across for different things in life..
Not all.. but most of us are confused about power and love..and i don’t judge anybody on this because I am human as well,many times i struggle between my conditioned self and my essence too..but all these years each time i saw my own darkness..everything around me got lighter ,brighter and peaceful for my self..
we have learned this power struggle since we are very little in different ways though..so we have felt powerless in many different ways..through family and of course through society….so it is not easy to change overnight and there is a lot of conditions involves why and how..but the truth is,it sounds very capitalist way of loving..we learn to get love with condition so the rest of our life we tend to give our love with condition..
They say love heals..and it is true that in every relationship that we come across there is an opportunity to heal for both sides..but generally we don’t know what is love..so we don’t know how love helps us to heal..
I am not saying we should just ignore our boundaries and give love to people who tends to take advantage all the time..I am just saying i think the best thing that we can do for our selves,is seeing the love that we give or the love that we have given as a “gift” not something that we have to take it back to be happy.. honestly every time i see in this way,i moved on much easily in different cases in my life..
Love and power shouldn’t go together..as we know that they are actually opposite..but when we give love to others to get that back ,we don’t realize that we are getting into a power struggle by expecting them to behave the way we prefer..and that is not real love at all..that’s why we get hurt..that’s why we hurt others..power struggle is like a war..never ends in a good way ..all sides always lose something somehow..
“Sam Green’s uniqueness lies in his ability to create images that carry astonishing energy. Unleashing the unruly, unconscious urges through the use of primitivism and gripping us to observe in awe the abstract detail reminiscent to the tranquillity of water – the drawings are simultaneously exciting and calming.” Sam Green’s website
I believe that Gandhi’s views were the most enlightened of all the political men in our time.
We should strive to do things in his spirit: not to use violence in fighting for our cause, but by non-participation in anything you believe is evil.
