In war, 60 years on, inevitably you ask yourself, "What was the commotion all about?"

It doesn’t surprise me, Irving.

The question is, how do we change these people's minds? A tricky one! It's a core piece, Rea! Beautiful! ❤️

So true Rea. Life is too short to pick sides. We are whom we choose to be. Unique in our own way.

Thank you Rea,

why oh why is it so difficult for the human race to show empathy, to be compassionate to those we know, but more importantly to those we don’t know.

We must treat others as we wish others to treat us … 🙏

True that, my friend. 🙏

Let's learn to unlearn out minds, let's strip of the layers of our minds and act heart fully....

Rea, reading this felt like stepping into that field Rumi spoke of. Your words carry both sorrow and hope, and they remind us that compassion must be lived now, not later. A beautiful reminder of the humanity we share. 💛🌿

Compassion must be lived now, not later. Wise words, Celia. We shouldn’t wait till it’s too late. <3

Thank you, Rea 💛 your words call us back to compassion now.

In a perfect world, we might be able to love unconditionally. In this world? I can't hate a human, but I hate what is happening to people that I love. I think the main thing is to love, to make our love into loving actions, and to help and be of service and a blessing where we are able. Love, Virg

Rea de Miranda's avatar

The world needs more love. Thank you, Virg. ❤️❤️

I love Rumi. I listen to his poetry every day.

Thought you might enjoy one of my poems, inspired by his mastery.

It really shouldn’t be so difficult to see that this mindset works best, for everyone. We are in the hands of so many lunatics unfortunately 😳

Rea de Miranda's avatar

That’s unfortunately true, Esther. 💕

I'll meet you there, Stephanie! ❤️
