About a year ago I first started to really try and be more accepting and forgiving. This in itself is not so difficult.  But now and then a situation may arise where it is very very hard for someone to exhibit unconditional love.  An instance of this might be to show unconditional love to those that commit the most horrendous crimes against people . . . such as rape or murder and especially when directed against children.  It's very hard to express unconditional love in these instances, and more so if the victim is someone you knew and loved.  But, once in a while you do read of such acceptance, compassion, love and forgiveness coming from families of victims.  This made me think it were indeed possible . . . hard to obtain but indeed possible.

About a year ago I started trying to explain this to others I had met on the net and in "real life", and was met with, "It's not possible".  "People can't do it". I felt they were wrong, that it was possible, that while it may take a lot of work and a lot of years to make a difference, that it WAS possible and I still do.
 

I still think it IS possible, and yes there will be times when it is difficult to put into action, but I still think and feel that it is possible, and that it is needed.  When one considers how difficult it might be to get everyone to acknowledge "unconditional love", and to utilize it in their everyday life, I guess the only thing I can say or suggest is . . . that each one of us worry about ourself, each person, make the changes needed within yourself.  If we each strive for unconditional love, within ourselves in how we deal with others, then perhaps in time it CAN happen.  We can't stop to be bothered by judging others but deal with only ourselves and live it as best we can . . . if we do that and each person tries to express unconditional love the best they can to others, it can happen . . . but it all starts with YOU.  One person, would have a hard time changing the world, but if each person or individual strove to express it the best they could, then as a group I think it can be accomplished.

Just as in the law of cause and effect, what we do, and how we deal with things DOES have an affect on those around us.  Just like a pebble dropped into a pond and the ripples move outward, so our actions create a ripple that extends outwards to those we have contact with.  If you have one gift that you can give to others, let it be love, it costs you so little, yet it means so much.....
