You are going to be hated.
You are going to be ridiculed.
Because you believe this world is full of enough beauty and love
for all beings to get along,
you will be mocked.
Most likely called a hippie. Possibly a socialist (for some reason.)
You will be considered out of touch. An idealist.
A dreamer.
You will be considered ignorant of ‘the truth.’
People will assume you do not understand the extent
of the cruelty and the hatred that exists in this world,
and you will be scorned
for thinking that more cruelty and more hatred
is not the answer.
That is okay.
You know better.
You more than ‘know’ the amount of hatred in this world,
you FEEL it. And you know the only thing you can do about it
is saturate the world with Love.
Keep speaking your truth from your heart.
Do not let ‘them’ get you down.
Even if a few say that it is impossible for Peace
to overcome the greed of others;
Even if some tell you that it’s a nice thought,
but completely out of reach for humanity;
Even if most simply laugh in your face,
KNOW YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
We are growing in numbers every day.
It takes patience.
It takes practice.
It takes humility.
It takes unconditional love.
It takes sacrifice and service.
But you know that this is the way.
SPEAK OUT AND UP
Do not be afraid.
Do not be silenced.
From what I have seen,
those that are the most angry speak the loudest,
therefore those that are the angriest are heard the most.
This can no longer be.
It is time to let love be heard again.
I know I will probably endure ridicule for this,
but that is okay.
I cannot let the fear of what others may think
silence what I believe to be true.
Those that laugh, those that hate, those that are angry,
they are the ones who needs the most love, the most compassion.
Believe me, I understand it takes more than sitting on a yoga mat, smelling a flower and hoping for the best,
but I do believe it is possible for us to all find a common ground, a common agreement,
that for the sake of humanity, we have to put our anger aside and lift ourselves higher than that.
If you know the power I am talking about, then you understand,
If you don't...I hope you do one day.
I know I can’t be the only one who feels this way.
