During christmas everybody wishes peace on Earth. But it never happens. The need to hurt, to kill and to hate is stronger, much stronger than the need to care, to help and to love. Millions and millions of christmas greatings are sent every year, with friendly regards and hope for a better world and future. It never comes. It doesn't work. The world is mad, there hasn't been a decade without war since the beginning of times... In Genesis Abel is the first victim, killed by his brother, Joseph was thrown in a well by his brothers, wow, nice forfathers we have. Tribe against tribe, the Egyptians against the jews, the killing of the first born sons, David and Goliath, Samson and.......no not Delila but the Filistines. The Palestines come in when their land is stolen cos it's promissed to someone els.... Nothing to smile about. And history repeats cos since that era no peace ever occured on earth. Check on your history books.
The new testament starts with "christmas", the birth of Jesus. Now we should be happy, Christ the saviour is born. But he's killed in no time. Jesus was no warrior, he didn't carry any weapon, he didn't hate, he didn't kill and he never hurt anybody. So why did he have enemies ? Why was he murdered, because he preached love ? Because he helped the poor and the sick ? Was there a personal, a political or a religious reason the kill a person that never harmed ? Or wasn't he that innocent..?
Is hate stronger than love ? If you let it happen and let it into your heart, yes it is !!! But there's only place for ONE. Both, hate and love cannot exist together in one heart, you have to kick out one of them. It's up to you which one to keep.
I made my decision. I want to live in peace, in harmony with my friends and my animals, there's no place for hate or anger. Not because of christmas, not because everybody is asking for peace on Earth, no. Just because I want it to happen. I will not allow negative energy to enter my world, I'll reject it. And you know what?...... It feels good.
This is what I want to share with you, stop trying to change the world, start with yourself ! Peace on Earth, merry christmas or I love you, only say these words when you really mean them.
To all my followers, readers, friends and not-friends: I wish you a merry christmas, have love in your heart and have a good start in the new year. I like to thank those of you who did, for sending me very nice and warming e-mails in supporting my blog and wishing me happy holidays. You're great friends, thank you.
Bert.
