Not being willing to...Michelle, You ask then what? Not being willing to risk the pain of honest open love of one another is one of the root causes of the pickle the human race is in, that we chase false solutions as groups. Honest open love of one another and of the ways spirit meets the world actually directly answers a deep need in us but the path to that state of being requires courage, requires paying the price, requires risking knowing we fell short. <BR/><BR/>You speak of the risk of pain. I can promise you the pain. Love at the deepest level guarantees pain in an imperfect world. What I mean is that most of us can love better or more perfectly than the world can meet our love, or we cannot, which of itself guarantees pain if we try. Either way the pain is inevitable. It is worth it anyway. It is the only way to meet an essential need. That need unmet guarantees myriad other difficulties. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps if I do not love this will permit less personal pain. Perhaps. But it will disperse in its way, a diffuse misery that spreads out from my efforts to live well and affects many others.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-36155222997603861762009-02-27T13:44:00.000-08:002009-02-27T13:44:00.000-08:00I love this post, Christopher.I love this post, Christopher.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08030622402438915251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-1601156459289495842009-02-27T11:55:00.000-08:002009-02-27T11:55:00.000-08:00I think you are right.
