For anything to be a virtue, it must be a free choice, not just a mandate....Jesus' words must be seen as descriptive (what is possible) much more than prescriptive (what must be done)….'No language of counting or commanding can get you there.' -- Fr Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," September 22, 2012.
If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate. -- Nikka, 6
Blinding flash of the obvious: To learn to love better, love.
According to me, we need to expand our willingness to love...to love better we need to learn the art of nonresistance, i.e., love.
We do not get to kiss it on the lips and let it go until we own our feelings about it, i.e., love it. Then we can hug it and kiss it and let it go for Now it walks free in our own head, the only place it bothered us to begin with.
Thank you.
