We constantly create rules of behavior and good manners to navigate our interactions, much like porcupines adjusting their distance to avoid pricking each other. In essence, we try to “paint over” our egoism, setting limits and palliatives, trimming our needles,…
First, we must understand that the quality of God, the upper force, is absolute goodness, love, and bestowal. God is the source of everything, much like a parent to a child. Regardless of what the child does, a loving parent…
On the contrary, this simple and sincere thought has the power to change the space between people. Why? It is because when we set ourselves in a positive direction toward others, without expecting anything in return, we create a new…
