I was raised in the ethic of giving IS receiving. When my mother, who taught us this, fell away from it herself, as the years rolled on, she was amazed at my behaviour, on a visit. I said it was merely what she had imparted.
On a different note, were I to find myself going the Oval Office, or to Mar-a-Lago, I would probably have to "blast the room with love" for a month before going there.
LOL!!!You know how they tent houses w/vermon infestations to killing off all the pests. Perhaps if we tented and love blasted The White House, that MIGHT work?
Sometimes, I find myself gritting my teerh when I pray for him.
I know of a late former president who said he prayed for the current occupant. So I ask myself, 'What would JC ( Jimmy Carter) do to pray for him?'
To all United States Officers, do not send your men to death. We are not in WW2 now. If I can see my car in the parking lot from space on google, well it is the same for them to know exactly your position. It would be very easy for Iran to send drones and/or missiles to neutralize you. Say NO.
¨They were trained to follow orders, but also sworn to defend the Constitution.
During COVID-19, U.S. service members were given orders that many believed were unlawful, and told their careers depended on compliance.
Some obeyed. Others refused. Nearly all paid a price.
Duty to Disobey reveals what happened to those who refused, and why their story matters to every American. This is a film about courage under pressure, institutional failure, and the quiet line where lawful authority ends.¨
Great tip: "Every single thing we do in this life should come from love. Every action, every statement, the hardest thing you have to do, can you do it with love and not anger, fear, greed? Most business decisions come from fear and greed. Can you make that exact same decision but from a place of love?” - Raj Sisodia, in eight minutes of his remarks on a panel about ‘human energy.' https://vimeo.com/1093725258/1790b6d836
A statement that implies we must love our selves, to better love one another. Then, love of one another, unites our hearts, to both endure and enjoy life together.

Viktor Frankyl also explains this is in a similar way. He mentions that to find meaning we have to take the focus off ourselves, transcend ourselves, to get to meaning. Love this post. Well said.
It seems in every country there is a group of people who think they have the monopoly on spiritual development and growth. There should be some education on spiritual matters.
Let each of us evaluate our own actions toward others.
I try to ask myself if others might need something or wish to be included in some social event.
I try to do things I enjoy doing things that benefit others - like baking. ( Though I have to be careful about asking someone else to consume the calories rather than me doing so - BUSTED.)
But even our progress as a society can cause isolation.
If we do everything on line and virtually, we don't give ourselves and others the opportunity to share love and blessings.
When we "protect" ourselves we can limit our ability to love and bless one another.
Do we allow our kids to earn a little money or good karma cutting someone's grass or doing light house work or running an errand for a neighbor?
Or, do we tell ourselves it is not safe for them to do so?
I find myself constantly wanting to page back through "Brave New World," and "1984," to see which of the two books we are emulating at any given moment in our "no contact," "no need to talk to a human," sociey.
Meantime, thank you to each of you who posted something positive and on topic here today.
Your prayers always bring tears to my eyes.

Oof.
Weaponizing "boundaries" and calling it self-care. Building walls and callin’ it wisdom.
Turns out the world stops feeling dangerous the minute we stop treating everyone like a threat to our precious energy, yeah?
"Blast a room with love before you get there"... game changer, luv 💫
