When Greed Became Good
People say the opposite of love is hate or indifference, but maybe it’s really greed. … 1 Corinthians 13 defines love as patient and kind and not jealous or boastful, etc. In contrast, greed is the exact opposite. If we reverse 1 Corinthians 13 it would say: Greed is impatient; greed is unkind; it envies, boasts, and is proud, etc.. However, the original 1 Corinthians 13 can give us hope, for it says,… these things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Vessels of Light and Peace
Sometimes it feels like the world is fracturing into billions of pieces. There are disasters at home and work and difficulties with those we love and care for and ourselves. … This brought to mind the concept of tikkun olam (repair of the world), the mystical tradition that tells the story that in creating the world, God contracted and poured part of God’s Self into vessels of Light. Love, is our primary tool to manifest God’s presence in the world. Our job is to find and connect these sparks within ourselves and each other, using the force of love. … nurturing the spark within and becoming the vessels of Light and Peace, we can effect a real tikkun olam, repair of this fractured world.
Patience and Fortitude
To survive difficult times means having the fortitude to persevere. It means holding onto resilience and compassion with a spiritual tenacity. It means no matter what, taking that one step after the next step and staying connected to each other. Fortitude means we don’t give up. This fortitude and the strength to hold onto hope can bring us through looming troubles with our spiritual essence intact, both as individuals and in community. …
fortitude and patience can ignite the embers of a healthy society and the spiritual oneness we have with each other so we can rekindle in our society the eternal fire of infinite Love that will bring us to mutual wholeness.
