Hello Everyone. I am brand new and checking things out. This looks like as good a place as any to start. I am posting some of my views and will be looking at the views of others as well.
I don't care what Religion you are. Stick with what feels right and where your Faith takes you and don't let anyone shake that Faith. Your heart knows what is right and will never lead you wrong.
Don't judge others. We are all here for the same reason, knowledge and our lessons in life are going to be different but it doesn't make anyone better than the other. Judgement is a reflection of the self.
Those with a pure heart look down on nobody because they are wise enough to know that we are all equal, from the Assailant to the Victim or the judge to the Criminal. We all have our lessons to learn. Some get it and some don't.
There cannot be Light without Darkness and there cannot be Good without Evil. There must be a balance within life, meaning while you want to strive to be as Good of a person as you can, understand that the homeless, the prostitutes, the criminals, and everyone different from you are your Brothers and Sisters. Love them as such.
If you can help someone, help them with pure intentions. When you expect something in return for your good deed, is it really a good deed? Remember that you might lie to Others or even Yourself but you cannot hide what is in your heart.
I don't care how bad your day is or how aggravated you are with what you are dealing with in life, remember that your actions towards someone can have a serious impact. Treat others with respect even when you don't feel like it or you feel they don't deserve it.
Everything happens as it is meant to. While the situation may seem bad at the time, things are usually never as bad as they seem and you will never be given more than you can handle.
And that is my views in a nutshell. I look forward to reading yours.
Bless you,
~Michelle
