Quote of the day:
“When we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. So the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one. We cannot love when we feel fear.... When we release the fearful past and forgive everyone, we will experience total love and oneness with all.”
~ Gerald G. Jampolsky, internationally recognized authority in the fields of psychiatry, health, business, and education
If I could wave a wand and magically have everyone sit down and truly talk to each other instead of just yelling, I would. It is my hope that when genuine attempts are made to understand the issues that have polarized all public discourse that everyone will let go of all the slights, grudges, hurts, and ill will of the past and try to see alternate points of view. We can do it, I am convinced… We NEED to do this!
