Take Time To Share

There are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along;  people who will appreciate our compassion, our encouragement, who will need our unique talents.  Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.

Don’t Be Small

Posted in Faith, Faith Family and Friends, Family and Friends, Philosophy, Politics, Quotes, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 9, 2019| Leave a Comment »

Hate, among all our base instincts, is the most distinctly human.  In animals, violence and venom are tools of survival;  in humans, of supremacy.  Small, scared people hate, self-hating people hate, bullied and betrayed people hate, as though hate will make them large and safe and strong.
     —    Nancy Gibbs
From her article:  “The Only Way Forward“
Appearing in:  Time Magazine;  (dtd: 12 November 2018)
The online version of this article is titled:  “The Only Way to Fight Hate“
The article can be found online at:  http://time.com/magazine/us/5441415/november-12th-2018-vol-192-no-20-u-s/
I choose to love people, not to judge them.  I want to experience them as they are, not as I would want them to be.  I want to grow with them, allowing each new moment to tell its own story, rather than perceive it as a product of our past.  I want us to search together for fresh alternatives to our incompleteness, to our negativity, to our deception, to our fear and to our despair.  I don’t want us to spend our lives thinking about life and change and celebration.  Rather, I want us to spend our lives celebrating and living and changing.  And I never want to forget what the wonderful author William Saroyan reminded me of many years ago:  People is all everything is – all it has ever been, and all it can ever be.  People.  You and me.  Together in love.
