Buddha of Hollywood, "The Meaning of Life VI"
"The Meaning of Life VI"
by Buddha of Hollywood
"A person should be more than just an individual. A family should be more than a convenience union of people. A community should be more than a bunch of families sharing the same neighborhood. This country should be more than a union of states bound together by the same constitution. And the world we live in should be more than a quilt of different countries sawed together at the borders.We are all threads, fibers in the fabric of life. The way we interwove in this structure is what gives us and our life meaning.
Show me a lonely person and I will show you a fearful, depressed and unhappy soul.
Show me a lonely human being and I will show you an abused individual.
Show me a lonely being and I will show you rage and hatred ready to explode.
Show me a lonely person and I will show you a wasted meaningless life.
In my practice I’ve seen a lot of lonely people. They all have one thing in common: They all believe their loneliness is a symptom, a result of their problems and the most difficult thing to show them is that their isolation, their separation and distance from the people around them is not a symptom, but the very cause of their dysfunctional life.
Show me a prejudiced person and I will show you a person that hates himself. Show me a person that loves himself and I will show you a person that loves his neighbors. We are to ourselves what we are to others. The things we do to others are the things we do to ourselves. The victim of today will be the aggressor of tomorrow.
It is hard to understand that in the spiritual world you can only have what you give. For the “me” generation it is hard to understand that the less you give the less you have.
Just think about it: If all of us are there to find some one to love us, to take care of us, to makes us happy then there will be no love, care or happiness in the world. If all of us would change that point of view and live in this world to love and care and make the people around us happy, then this world would be a paradise.
“Love your neighbor as yourself” is not an empty phrase or just a nice thing to say. Love your neighbor, is the fundamental key of this spiritual world we’ve been talking abut. Love is the knots, the glue that holds this fabric of life together. Without it, everything falls apart. Without it we are all doomed to a lonely, meaningless life."
