I myself was not too much in contact with people rather with my own family as i needed time to reflect but coincidentally or not?! Your topics were always of right timing and they were my guidance support! So, please keep on doing this....you make people more aware of themselves and their surroundings and realise the real priorities in life! So thank you very much once more and stay in contact...you are a katalysator to small miracles happening to a person's life!!
Recognise the Other
Recognise the Other
What is loving? It is recognising the presence of the other with your love.
Thich Nhat Hanh: You Are Here
By now you know my vision of love - a feeling of warmth, acceptance and care not only reserved for your family or partner, but for all living beings. Why should we be stingy with a feeling like that? The moment you feel love for whoever it might be, you radiate it and become happy yourself too!
My favourite definition of love is the quote by Thich Nhat Hanh: love is actually recognising the presence of the other with that warm feeling. It’s about seeing your fellow human beings, and being there for them. Be it the shabby elderly man next to you on the bus, the neighbour’s screaming child, the scary looking skinhead in the street - or your near and dear ones.
Take the time to look at the people you meet, and with your smile you might just make their day. And your own, too! :-)
