True Love...

"Only an act of True Love can thaw a frozen heart"- Frozen

Isn't that a beautiful quote from the movie Frozen? And so much relevant to the present times where there is rage in everyone's heart. Rage for violence against women, rape, murder, war, racism, corporate malignancy or political corruption. You name it and we have a problem there. Its surprising how evil humans are towards each other. Everyone's unhappy. And have you ever thought Why? Why is all this happening?

One day, Aanya asked me " Mumma, who are bad guys? why do people do bad things?" at her tender age, she knows, people are only supposed to do good things. 

I answered, We humans are choice-making creatures. And our choices, our actions are always an attempt to get our needs met. Sometimes we choose to get our needs met in healthy, life-affirming, loving ways that are supportive to our relationships with others. At other times, we choose to get our needs met in ways that are destructive, unhealthy and unloving ways. This is simply the human nature and we should honor it while we seek, for ourselves, to choose well rather than badly. This includes examining our own choices in meeting our needs, actively seeking out those who will cooperate with us to support our mutual needs, and actively avoiding negative strategies. 

While this answer was meant to be for her, I realized it was more for me. The world needs more compassion, sensitivity, intuition, empathy and respect. In short, True Love. The only way the problems of this world are going to change is for all our hearts to thaw with true love. Without it, we're all going nowhere. Really nowhere.

So, start your week with positivity, love and respect for your fellow humans. Have a great week ahead. And remember...

“It is only with true love and compassion that we can begin to mend what is broken in the world. It is these two blessed things that can begin to heal all broken hearts.”
