In the teachings it says that:
"All compounded things are like dreams,
illusions, bubbles, and shadows;
they are like dew and like lightning,
and should be seen in...

what harshness, rory?
is harshness when not agree with attempting teaching love?
when loving, what's left to feel disturbed if not agreed with?
May all slobs rest in the divine light of love, in seeing them here, made clearly, being whole again, the same story being told is this rite of passage of freedom from desire, as in any one place, two eyes, to lips, two hands to hold and reach out, and up to face, the sun.
May my love for you all breath on as i will love & keep on loveing. If there is one thing I learn from this is how we all love one other love ya RORY My love be the frist thing you think of when you get up in the morring. Give thank for your life.

Hi, Rory - Reaching Out Requires You to radiate Loving kindness which you have done exceptionally well. Sharing with all what metta is all about.
Metta
Metta, loving-kindness, is to be started within ourselves. If we can say that we love ourselves, can we harm ourselves by having angry thoughts within ourselves?If we love a person, will we do harm to him? To love the self means to be free from selfishness, hatred, anger, etc.; and unless we ourselves possess metta within, we cannot share or radiate, we cannot send this metta to others.
********
Metta is not merely benevolent thought but the performing of charitable deeds, active ministry for the good of one and all; a subject not to be talked about, but to put in our being, to suffuse it within ourselves.
********
We are asked to be loving towards all living beings, therefore metta must go hand in hand with helpfulness, with willingness and a spirit of sacrifice for the welfare of other beings. In the Digha Nikaya it is said by the Buddha that almost every virtue such as unselfishness, loving-sympathy and loving-kindness is included in this metta.If you have real metta you can be almost everything; you can radiate a noble, grand peace.It is this metta that attempts to break away all barriers which separate beings from one another.

Thank you all. For all your inputs. Kepp love & kindness alive. And please be kind to others. I see alot of bullshit log in thats not love that hate. & leaves a bad taste. Stop the joking and just find the love you need to be your self. PEACE love RORY
bullshit logs? that's a new one, in a nice kind of way
today, I had to wait around a lot, so I began to think... "What is this all for?"
A girl walked by with a black cat in her arms, being loved so much. A few people were getting cookies from a bakery, which took a lot of thought, in picking out "just" the right ones. Some older men were talking math, sitting at a table, eating food, but seemed to love talk more.
I just sat and watched, and my love was spent in waiting, and watching.
Who is being payed in love? It seems to require honest values, and being alone, to me.

Probably harder to love onself if one invokes feelings of guilt for not living up to some nimwits opinion on how a person possesed with metta should carry out ones life.
Sorry for my rudness, I just dislike anything that could smell of suggestion or recipe for how one should live ones life. I`d rathers liked it to say that expressing ones true nature might lead people in a direction where they are grateful of the opportunity to experience the joy and fulfillment of beeing able to help others, beeing regarded as a positive element in life, or something.

Hi,
Sorry Not. Individually Be Benevolent.Learning Everyday .Reflect.
ever watch the show..house make-over... this one show said something on how this person, family, deserved a house that was safe and I wondered how anyone could deserve such a thing
It was done with alot of love & compassion from people like you. Who give of them self and look for noting in return. That is love of one self. And your heart is with out evil of worng doing. When others do wrong I only will do right. Have a lovely day. LOVE RORY
Right you are. So we go on in life living the live that ws given to us with love to find are ture self. thank you for your kindness & kepping this posting awake.
He was showing love to all things. And being awake in the sprit of time. That it seeing thingsfor the frist time over & over. Wow the love of Zen & other. Given kindness to others what a high. LQQK in side your heart and tell me what you see.
What a beautiful day today! The sun is shining, I fell a couple dead birch trees, and still have my hands attached. It's great! Now I just have to let that wood dry. Nothing like the smell from a birch fire on a cold winter's day.
Be real. Have kindness I;m one of love & kindness, compassion, at 49 If you dont like Just go your way. I dont need bullshit in my life You dont show me any thing I would take or use.
Oh wow...see how you all come together? With vindictiveness and hysteria in a one-dimensional way I am vindicated. And yowee, I'm sick, oh yeah baby, I'm well, I'm happy, oh mama I'm sad, oh joy I'm in pain and thanks but no thanks for your mean and useless advice.
No, don't answer that because I have to go - I have a new bed to try out, and lie in, well it's a new mattress really but hey ho, beggars can't be chooserzzzzz zzz z.
I am the next best thing to a priest, or doctor. Or next worse. Come up and claim your healin'! Anybody wanna tomato? I am the next best thing to that. Don't tell me what you really want. I'm just the next best thing. Tea? Ya got me.
Ah, big yawn and a stretch...eeeeeuuuurrahhh, yes that mattress was a definite improvement on the previous mattress. Love and compassion - what a choker.
Ok, chokes, no sorry, jokes, ahem, now is there anybody being, reading this? Tap once for yes and two for no.... ..... ... .. .
Right, jokes...Have you ever seen a fox eating shit out of a wire brush? Now, this is not a joke, no, oh no. See, this question begs other questions - viz-a-viz: Why is the fox eating shit out of a wire brush? What is the shit doing in the wire brush? Where is the sustenance for the fox? And so on and on and on. However, it may still be a funny image to some but as I said, it's no joke, especially if you're the fox.
Now, Watching someone grinning 'like' a fox eating shit out of a wire brush is funny in a tasteful way. The question about this statement's joke-status then is clearly irrelevant. Furthermore, both scenarios involve the faculty of imagination coming to the fore of consciousness, which isn't necessarily always a good thing.
So anyway, as I was saying, neither foxes nor dogs, mares and does. cows and little lambs joke about milk, sprites and cookies, love and compassion, life's bullshit...hello? hello? anybody there yet?
Flies seem to have voices, that we choose not to hear, and if they were to speak, would it be angry, or would they be pleased with the way we treat them? I'm sure they are pleased when I'm dead. But how can I please them before that?
I'm talking to a fruit fly - that was my soliloquy to a fruit fly via the poster known as woodsman. I could be talking to you when I'm talking to the fruit fly but if you want to please a mosquito you'll need to open your arms and sacrifice...but first ditch the phrasebook along with the Love & Compassion spectacles.
Flies all share in the one breath, spirit and destiny, so maybe the voice some of us are choosing not to hear is that voice.
