Oh “Veeolay” < attempting to say Violet in a French way (as I'm learning this language). You've inspired me to use some water colours I've been given, to cartoon some of the things in my memory bank. As for the saying 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer' I've heard it, but try not to see anyone as an enemy (sometimes I find that very challenging). It isn't people who are the enemy, but what people do. Some actions are the enemy of the universe's goal of peaceful coexistence and kindness (the universe is naturally a friendly, beautiful place). Therefore ultimately some people's actions are an enemy, this could be said as an enemy of themselves. My hopes are that the sick will become better (some actions of others can only be classified as sick) and the ignorant will learn, but most of all ways will change. In the meantime I have been known to just get in the way of the sick and the ignorant. Sometimes I speak the truth quietly and other times I shout it. I hope not to add to the sickness by being hateful and viewing others as an enemy, but their ignorant actions, their sick actions, their sad actions are the enemy.
Therefore the big challenge is to aid knowledge of kindness and help prevent sick actions. I repeat: It isn't people who are the enemy, but what people do.
Namaste xx
You are so right! But then again, if people choose to do the sick actions, they only have themselves to blame 🙂 Thank you for your lovely, long, in-depth comment 😀
What else could a plan need, what else could a plan need? Why it would need those really quiet fluffy socks, an unregistered store card for opening doors and slices of crisp apple surely?
