How can I best love the world?

  • Aine

    By practicing self-compassion.

    There was a time, most of my life, really, when I thought the answer was in loving others until it hurt, and if it did not hurt then I must not be doing it right.

    I had to learn that true compassion must include ourselves. When we can be gentle, kind, and loving with ourselves then the love that the world needs will flow out from us as if we were mountain springs. In that flow, needs cannot help being met, hearts touched, and the world changed for the bette...

      I couldn’t agree more. I, too, gave myself away — literally. It took me many months and a lot of help to find myself again. I don’t ever want to repeat that mistake. So I threw away the big stick with which I drove myself and began to learn to become my own best friend. Out of that flows my love for others.

    I looked at this two ways:
    ???????????? If you mean the people of the world, then I respond with the Golden Rule, “to do unto others as I would have them do unto me.”
    ???????????? If you mean the world as the planet, then “recycle, reuse, and use restraint.”
    ???? The bottom line is to respect others as well as our planet.
    ???? Nothing or no one is permanent.

    I can best love the world by accepting and loving myself without conditions. Practice of forgiveness is essential.
