"There is freedom that comes with awareness because
with it comes the opportunity to make a choice."
Daily Om
We are called to be an authentic presence in our world, presenting with acceptance and compassion. With our trust and faith in human nature, we can easily be sucked in by those intending to manipulate our gestures of kindness.
We cannot allow our emotions to blur our vision. Clarity is better found when we pay attention to the sensations we are feeling in our inner being. We can choose to recognize our 'gut reactions' as information is funneled through all of our senses. We do have a built in alarm system that we need not over ride.
Through out history, the kindhearted have been hoodwinked and the poor exploited. These situations do not sit easily with me; but, I am truly puzzled by the rapists attacking physically, mentally, and spiritually. How can there be any sense of 'glory' by using these horrific measures? It is vitally important how we treat others, but not at the cost of personal respect and honor.
