More Love Not More Money

In this world of desire, greed, and fear enveloping the minds of many we tend to forget that love is priceless and the answer to many issues in life. Just a few seconds of kindness and compassion for another, especially for a stranger, can make a world of difference in the day.

With homelessness, addiction, anxiety, stress, anger, and fear becoming more and more it seems at every turn. I wonder how and why this is happening. My experience with some of the above caused me to cling to delusions or illusions of money being the answer. Unfortunately or rather fortunately that was but a temporary solution.

Because I experienced something I thought I knew called unconditional love. Which is one that is getting harder and harder to share. It involves compassion equally for everyone, without judgment, anger, guilt, or fear. It is supportive and always available.

One of the greatest gifts in my life has been volunteering. Giving your time and heart to others' suffering is a fulfilling feeling that can only be experienced. Just like unconditional love. It is a very intimate gift to others and self. It is free and always welcome. Be good to yourself and volunteer some time if you can. Your heart and mind will be grateful for your efforts.
