Being in love

The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving: it’s in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to others, I’m caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me.
-Ram Dass

Remember also to always choose to see the good in people, always choose to accept people for who they are, their qualities, their flaws and most importantly, always remember that we are all different. We must never assume people to be righteous or good only when they are the same as us. We must allow them to live their lives as they choose to, and along the way understand every footprint they made and then, comprehend their existence in life. Only then, you will be able to grasp the meaning of happiness - when you embrace empathy over prejudice.

sometimes the wisest moments in decision making, is never about using your mind. While we see with our eyes, hear with our ears and rationalize with our mind, let the process of decision making always go through your heart. Recall what your parents taught you during the first ten years in your life and use them as underlying principles to make a judgement or a decision. You will not be far from being right.
