In my meditation this morning I did a guided lovingkindness meditation. It started by expressing love to myself, which is important. Then I expressed love to those that are close to me. And then I expressed love to those that are out there a way for me.
It struck me as I did this the with all of the songs of hate and heartbreak and sadness and bloodshed people don't get a lot of file light in their life the entertainment that we consume is based around drama and heartbreak and violence and interplay of emotions. Or based around killing and destroying and glorying in that distraction afterwards.
While I firmly believe that much of the violence taking place around our country that's being associated with the mistreatment of a criminal while being arrested, I think that many of the people participating in the protests and violence are being paid. And that good people are standing by and shaking their heads and wondering how this can be happening.
If we could take a few minutes and show lovingkindness, express love, have good feelings toward those around us the darkness that is trying to overtake our accomplishments will never prevail.
I prayed for you today. I prayed that God would help you to show love to those both in and around you and your life.
