I tell you, assuming reincarnation is real and we can choose our own paths, I'm going to go to another world, preferably on the other side of the universe, where all of these things are the opposite of how they are here and love is pretty much passed out like candy.

Love and kindness beyond the confines of one's family and close friends appears to be taboo within humanity. It makes me sad that I can't know for sure who would appreciate acts of generosity and caring from me. Oh, I know lots of people like it. Society is downright starving for it. At the same time, there seems to be a universal dislike for it.... or at least a general pervading indifference.
It's the separatist nature of this particular world, I think. There is an unawareness that we're all a part of the same energy and even share the same mind on some level.

Here, loving-kindness is a treasured novelty. It shouldn't be like that. Partitioning love and hoarding it makes as much sense as taking diamonds, which is an element that is by no means rare, and selling them at a monstrous price along with the implication that there is only so many to go around.

I believe, good sir, that I will learn all I can there, and then be a spiritual teacher with my newfound knowledge.
But that's just a dream for now. I may end up just staying here for another twenty-some-odd lifetimes, god forbid...

And that brings me to another thing that disappoints me about humanity's collective attitude towards love and kindness: the idea that it should be free is taken as a call to socialism and is subsequently rejected. As though love is only ever expressed by charity and the giving of objects. How irregular!edit on 7-1-2013 by EllaMarina because: (no reason given)
