The Real Question

The Real Question

The question is not, how we can obtain love and understanding. The question is, whether we have the capacity of generating love and understanding ourselves.
                                             Thich Nhat Hanh: Answers From the Heart

Sometimes we feel a lack of love in our lives. Perhaps we have had an argument with a loved one, perhaps we even broken up. Perhaps our child said something unkind, or our friend didn’t seem to care about our problems. 

Instead of being sad because of the percieved lack of love from others we should turn towards ourselves to look for love. Are our hearts soft and open enough to generate love, both for ourselves and for others? Are we able to give, without the need of receiving? Are we willing to forgive thoughtless words or actions, and move on?

Love starts within ourselves: we soften our hearts, and open up to the miracle of life. A warm wave of love will be born.
