- I read once that there are only two emotions...love and fear. Whatever you are feeling, its base is one of those two...if it brings peace, it is love; doesn't bring peace, fear. That has proven true whenever I have had reason to examine it...and when first I read it, I tried to prove it constantly, trying to find an exception. I never did, but I like simplistic so I'm no authority.
- It just seems to me that I'm seeing, more and more, folks wearing heavy duty symbols of their faith which is just shouts fear to me. I hear them blatting reconstituted religion all the while their actions are less than loving...I started to say, those of a pack of rabid wolfhounds, but that's just putting my own fanatical self on parade. Geez, just the other day I was rambling on about love begetting love, and here's me proving that fanaticism begets fanaticism. Fear on the hoof, like a thundering herd, overwhelming.
- Why don't spiritual victories give us that special charge that ego victories give us? That "I won, you sucker, now die like the dog you are!" Or maybe not that harsh...maybe just a little "Ha-ha...in your face, sucker." Or maybe a smirk would do...just so she'd know I WON. Or is it more important that he knows HE LOST. TO ME. See? There's the essence of ego victory...there is no enough. It grows in its inability to even claim victory satisfactorily. With spiritual victory, I suspect you feel the same old good you feel all the time. And there it is...only ego can make spiritual victory sound boring.
Thank you.
