Learned two things today
Regards love. You can only give it out freely. Without condition. It cannot be forced from others, nor can one force it from others by the bottom up. It's a top down kind of thing and that always. If you are meant to have interpersonal love, it will be there. If your life is meant to be otherwise, it simply won't. The beauty of it is, is that the real gift of love is in the GIVING OF IT. Not the receiving. The frequency of sharing, and giving love, is higher than any reception of it I've found, except for the divine. Which is always available to everyone. Now that's pretty cool, when you think about. Instead of loneliness, there is a constant inpouring of love beyond anything human. it even exceeds the unabashed and freely given love of a small child, which is some feat. Would I had this awareness and knowledge as a younger man.
Now, all this chat about love seems like the same old 2nd hand stuff of old. Yet, it remains the truth. One I've come to personally know. I hope that all of us can know this, each in our own way. And many have, already.
two comments:
Can you still love your neighbor when he fraudently sells your sister a house as having 2 houses on it, but when it comes time to sell it, it’s discovered that the guest house is illegal and non conforming and was ordered to be abandoned by the neighbor 6 years earlier ? None of which was disclosed to my sister when the property was bought in August 05 .
I’m trying to find the love for this human, if he is one for forcing my sister into foreclosure and then bankruptcy and rubbing it in by building himself a mansion with the money just down the same street. The sellers lack of conscious and willingness to bankrupt my single mom sister has really stretched my ability to love unconditionally those who are so evil and without remorse. Then in between the evil neighbor and my good sister is me, who renovated the property and lives in the guesthouse and who is facing
certain eviction. I read somewhere, where loss is only an illusion for that which you never had can never be taken away. I like that one and fall back on it when I’m trying to make sense of the financial nightmare at 25 Sprague Farm Lane.

Yes to both your questions. The things people have done to me in the last thirty years are veritable horror stories defying belief. I have people bring the darkest agendas and sneering contempt for me everytime they enter my presence and yet I still love them. The current level of hate turned to me is staggering, and yet I love them. Shakespeare in Hamlet said, “our conscience doth make cowards of us all.” Shakespeare, roger bacon, was a Devil-worshipping pedophile. Our conscience leads us to love and nothing else. If it doesn’t lead you to love, it’s not your soul that is speaking to you. All the best.
