the prickly people … (06/04/12)
LOVE goes far beyond mere tolerance … It cannot be neutral and survive.
The moment your “love” becomes a bland resignation or a silent criticism or a turning away to “live and let live”, that is the moment your true LOVE dies.
In order to truly BE, LOVE has to be actively given, and it has to be given radically. You’ve got to open up and risk yourself — you’ve got to have the guts to be Kind to your life’s “prickly people”.
After all, these are the folks who obviously aren’t getting the same from anyone else … They are the ones who obviously need your LOVE the most.
So … got LOVE?
