Cleansing myths …<br />
(12/11/<strong>2012</strong>)<br />
“It is a very healthy endeavor now and <strong>the</strong>n <strong>to</strong> hang a question mark on <strong>the</strong><br />
things you have long taken for granted.” ~ inspired by Bertrand Russell<br />
… & where shall we start hanging those question marks? How about on<br />
<strong>the</strong> following beliefs:<br />
Belief #01: “It is both right & effective <strong>to</strong> punish “evil people” for <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
crimes” … This one is simply not True. Condemning “evil people” by saddling<br />
<strong>the</strong>m with <strong>the</strong>ir “proper punishment” only serves <strong>to</strong> encourage <strong>the</strong>m <strong>to</strong> repeat <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
crimes again in <strong>the</strong> future.<br />
Belief #02: “You have <strong>to</strong> take care of yourself before you can effectively<br />
care for o<strong>the</strong>rs” … This one is not True ei<strong>the</strong>r. In fact, <strong>the</strong> only time your LOVE<br />
is truly potent is when you give it <strong>to</strong> ano<strong>the</strong>r while you are feeling “crappy” &/or<br />
before you take care of yourself.<br />
Belief #03: “You are powerless and cannot make any real difference by<br />
yourself” … You got it — this one is patently false as well. What we choose <strong>to</strong> do<br />
(and why we choose <strong>to</strong> do it) always has a HUGE impact on o<strong>the</strong>r people’s lives.<br />
Please choose wisely, my Friends …<br />
Please choose Compassion …<br />
Please choose Kindness …<br />
Please choose Love.<br />
