That is wise ..But it is not easy sometimes..Because you may love these other people..and the other people may not do this on purpose..well, I don’t really know about that. There was a time, not so long ago, when i loved a person, i still love him but in a differnt way, and he said to me that he would do anything not to harm me..yet he betrayed me and he harmed me, though he said he wished he didn’t but there wasn t any other choice…well there was..NOT TO HARM ME..but whatever..everyone acts and reacts differently.. everyone feels differently or does not feel..he wants now to stay close, to be friends…yet i have not stepped him out of my life..though i think i probably should.
This is such a wise advice..
And what if your parents harm you? beacause in their minds they think that what they do is good for you..but when its really not?
what happens then? You stay away from them????????
The Warrior knows that, for Time Life, anyone has his own ground to maintain, at his own rhythm. And some forget totally to send a slice of sight to it.
Yes, they don’t need a gardener to look after the weeds at their place: by right, but, nor even they want to know, how to pull them out.
They did not understand the meaning of life, because noone told them. Or they lost their way. Anyway, they can’t hear, see…for now.
Yet, The warrior, as he’s named, fight. And For the Light. That’s why he may not flee harmful people, but have love around him.
Nevertheless, He can’t accept to be beaten by hands or mean words, and does not take company with that.
He learned, he can’t walk without encountering persons that would try to harm him. He has to be vigilant, and, if Heart wants to speak at that moment, let some words.
As to the acquaintance that leads to moral, physic or psychic ill-treatment, it cannot be accepted.
A child is innocent, face to that scourge. When thanks to the child, we’re all still alive.
Step by step, the Warrior is not hurt by futile or strange things, or critics, that hurt before; sometimes to fear.
He may then recognize when it really does, for nothing. He makes the difference between harm and hurt.
The Warrior of the Light cannot submit himself to ill-treatment, as he’s here to ssttle the truth.
If he put himself in that situation, he begins to draw a plan as soon as possible. To leave. Life will help. And for all of us, a path, a person, a book, a sentence, a night, make one day the difference.
My Dear, let’s see where we go.
Good night to all.
Gratefully.
Well, maybe we should have, but….
should we really?
When you are trying to be a good person and follow God’s “rules” - how could you not try to help these people to become better, to realize what is the most important in life - LOVE ?
I know sometimes is almost not possible, but it’s worth to try.
I know also, that it cannot last forever, everybody and everything has limits.
love

Its wise to recognize spending time with like-minded people is in our best interest. Follow your intuition.
Can a warrior of the light tell me how can this be possible!??
Of course we all would like to live in complete peace, and harmony, and we must avoid anything that might not be healthy or harmful. But to avoid bad company is so hard.
Those who want to harm you dont ever show you their intentions right away. Once theyve shown you their intentions, i guess a Warrior must be smart enough to know how to use that one person. your biggest enemy later on can become your best allie.
The lesson here is and must be, that a warrior should be cautious and should acquire wisdom (disernimiento,desconfianza) so that he can make everything that surrounds him (harmful and good) become Useful.
I just find it so hard to keep away from harmful company, i might try to avoid it, but its almost impossible.
a tous mes cousins de l’Univers,
ca y est , je suis passee de l’autre cote de la barriere
j’ai besoin de faire une pause pour recharcher les batteries.
a bientot

Fully agree,One must watchfull ,for Vampires and of people who just take and take of others.Blessing Tania

Of course “it’s worth to try”! But we have to be careful and stay the Master of Ourselves.
When the Warrior’s faced to someone who “wish to harm him”; someone who doesn’t mean a thing about love, it’s better to leave. Though some don’t want to see.
We must help, firstly by what we are, by giving, and what we’re creating, by being. We must share indeed.
Knowing anyone grows the way it’s watered. It’s a fact.
We must help, but not until submission. We’re here to settle the truth, by the Verb. By Lightening what is behind the mist.
The Truth is grand; not a submission but a victory.
When someone “wish to harm” me twice, I leave.
One’s got two chances.
In between both, I try to know why one’s got to harm me. And also I dig to discover how the grain’s opponent is. If it does not want my water, how could it see the light?
I was born with only two cheeks…
Gracefully.
Quel est donc cet autre côté de la barrière, je suis du sud?
Amicalement.
“Where there is love, there is life.”
Gandhi
“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”
Gandhi
I do understand that people who are harmful to you or the world aren’t trusting in love.
Someone who isn’t love doesn’t listen with the ear of the heart and reflects ignorance in the dirt of the eye.
Blind for faith…they grasp every grain of love to spit hate on the reaching hand…because they never tasted and shared the love of their own heart.
While i leave this harm
I pray for them …
for a listening ear to love.
Love
All Ways
Hildegarde
Perhaps ‘A Warrior of Light’ does not keep company with those who wish to harm him, because those who wish to harm him simply do not exist. It therefore becomes possible to keep company with any and everyone.
It seems such a waste of time to be in the presence of those who wish to harm. It’s draining and extremely tedious. The Warrior of Light knows that and moves on quietly…

Annie,
i believe when it comes to harming someone, there is ALWAYS a choice not to- whether we like to believe it or not. I don’t believe a person can truely love another and harm them intentionally at the same time. I can not begin to understand your relationship, and i realise that with love, we are often blinded and things are never as simple as they may seem however you have to becareful and worry about yourself first. Have you asked yourself what you really want? Is bringing him back in your life is worth it? Do take care dear, you are the most important person in your life :)
As for parents harming their kids- i don’t believe kids should be harmed under any circumstances. Parents who harm their kids thinking they are doing them a favour need to go for child psychology sessions with a professional. A Child, although may need to be corrected at times, don’t deserve harsh punishment. They make mistakes and thats how they learn. They don’t deserve what some parents do to their children. If parents harm their children then they shouldn’t be parents. Its just insane sometimes when you see how messed up this world has become. So many parents abuse their babies, innocent babies are physically, emotionally, and sexually abused for no reason. Parents like that don’t deserve kids. And besides, if a kid is treated like that, do you think they’ll want to stay with their parents? Or even love them completely? Or even like them at all? (But then again.. It also can depend on the situation, how they’ve harmed them and so forth.. )
i’m a character who’ll never intentionally hurt someone, or atleast i try not to. Its always been a mystery to me how someone can actually harm another. I don’t really understand. Especially when it comes to kids. One of the most terrible things i’ve seen, is a 6month old baby in the hospital with a gun shot wound to the chest. The baby was barely breathing, struggling to live after the surgery. I mean serious- who shoots a baby?!

There are not 3 but 4 the most beautiful words ever.
‘Yes’. ‘GOD’ . ‘LOVE’ and ‘US’
I felt the ‘US’ carries its importance too and was missing.
It came to my mind while reading the Warriors of Light.
Dear Yajna, thank you for your support..yes i must believe i am the most importan person in my life..
The thing with me is that i try to give chances to other who harm me..chance to show me that they have changed..This though may be wrong , cause i give too many chances…But then, doesn’t God give us chances when we do something wrong..May be i am too kind with some people, i really don’t know..
No i don’t believe that you can love completely a person, or your parents if they hurt you.I must confess i dont cause they hurt me physically and emotionally..and i am planning to leave away from here..But Paulo in his book “the Witch Of Portobello” says that you can love a person even if you dislike him…so again i dont know..

Thank you, indeed.
Maybe the Warrior and and a harmful people can’t be “US”.
As it said, we maybe always meet ennemy that has something to teach us. As a mirror.
But the battle is well-done, when our heart can rejoice, at the end.
What can we really wait from someone, that harms, without he learns a lesson from it? For months and years? And why?
By meeting persons that are in love, we get stronger and more faithful.
When we love harmful people, we can give them a part of our wealth. That’s the share.
But to my mind, a Warrior has a grand lack of action, if there’s no light around him. As a sporting, that could not breathe anymore!
Some has to walk, sail and fly a certain path, to be prompt to receive Love. We’re not always in phase to feel love.
In “the Zahir”, the main character hurt his wife, even if he loves her. (They hurt each other, would be more true).
When she leaves, he’s faced to himself. He’s faced to loneliness.
Hurt here is useful, as it offers to the main character to find more about himself, and about what’s behind the mist of visibility.
It brings him to see, what a lot try to wash out from their everyday’s vision. He meets persons that give, by their own manner, but he doesn’t go further with those that whistle unlike him.
He gets closer to himself, as every step he takes, conduces him, in reaching his Dream.
He has a look around, as a witness, and shows me, that he’s on his good way. He knows why he’s walking.
So what? –> Love beats his heart, not harm.
There are signs for this.
Some who shoot babies, as an exemple of horrors on that planet, are just the answer of human’s blindness.
Thanks for the Universe, for some people have passed to illuminate our path. Some are here, still, to bring the High Light.
Life cares, and come to wake up each one of us, when we sleep too much. Sometimes roughly. I believe in Its justice. But, I’m here to fight for my helpful Dream. Some could say I’m selfish, or I’ve no heart. I answer, I’ve cried enough for it. Of course I’m not happy about it. But my tears and anger did not change more than since I began to create my dream, and let to Life, what it’s up to It.
Have a magical day and night.

it’s
a panoramic view with a new set of lenses.
thank you, I got the message,
Je suis du sud,
I’m smiling because a friend of mine wrote to me yesterday, ending by: PEACE, LOVE & LENTILS!
Thanks for the answer, but are you talking about first meaning of it?
[quote comment=""]Je suis du sud,
you know which meaning I mean.
I am floating at the moment , bathing in the “glory” of it all. merci, merci, mille fois merci,
I knew I was dealing with a “smooth operator” with Arnaud straight away/ - a gentle , compassionate, caring, loving man.
[quote comment=""][quote comment=""]Je suis du sud,
P.s. I like lentils too, how did you know that?
Dear Wanbliska,
‘Maybe the Warrior and and a harmful people can’t be “US”.’
Here ‘US’ carries a great perception.Yes, i am calling it a perception because ‘US’ could be different for different people. But universally ‘US’ holds ‘ONE’ meaning. Identification of this meaning takes us through paths of trust and betrayals but it never mean to stop us from searching it’s meaning. When someone realizes the true meaning of ‘US’ all kinds of harms vanishes from his mind. A true knower of ‘US’ sees a sister in a prostitute, he sees a brother in a criminal, he sees a father in denials, he sees a mother in misery. This gives him courage to accept realities in his life the way they are. This gives him direction to think beyond realities while being a part of them. A true knower of YES, GOD, LOVE and US is never vulnerable to worldly harms. Rather worldly harms are always vulnerable to the warrior of light. A warrior of light posses skill to sail through the realities.
Dearest Annie
I apologise for the late replay- i’ve ad a bit of a problem accessing the internet over the last few days. Truthfully i believe that before you can step forward to loving someint who has harmed you, you have to forgive. Its often a giant step and when a person doesn’t change than it is so much harder on you because by not forgiving you carry around baggage your entire life. The truth is, in different situations i have been hurt, and personally i believe that seeing the positivity in the situation, helps you see the bigger picture. Once you see the bigger picture you don’t have hatred in your heart, and although you may not like those people who has harmed you, you feel far less lighter to carry on and love again. the truth is i am blessed with the most beautiful paarents who are continuously supportive in everything i do, so when i think of a innocent child being abused physically or emotionally or mentally i just hate it. I wish you all of the luck with finding your way in this world- don’t let anyone harm you and take you for granted. As much as you allow people second chances i believe it shouldn’t be at the expensive of yourself. i do believe people can change, and i do believe that in giving them that opportunity, but i believe more in making sure you , yourself is alright, before you want to fix anyone. You know, if someone harms you, in any manner,you should seek help, and think of healing yourself before healing them. i’m sorry if im not very helpful, but it is possible to forgive parents and still love them, i’ve seen my own mother do it with my grandfather. But i know my mother, and before she forgave him and began to love him, she took care of herself, she made sure she was safe and she made it in life regardless of how he treated her. I really hate to think sometimes about the violence that goes on. But it is an issue that is very real and needs to be delt with. And as for giving your friend chances again and again.. here’s a poem i once read to make you see my point:
I Got Flowers Today (Poem)
Saturday 16 December 2000
I got flowers today.
It wasn’t my birthday or any other special day
We had our first argument last night,
And he said a lot of cruel things
that really hurt me.
I know he is sorry and didn’t mean
the things he said
Because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today.
It wasn’t our anniversary or any other special day
Last night he threw me into a wall
and started to choke me.
It seemed like a nightmeare.
I couldn’t believe it was real
I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over.
I know he must be sorry,
Because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today.
It wasn’t Mother’s Day or any other special day.
Last night he beat me up again.
And it was much worse than all the other times.
If I leave him, what will I do?
How will I take care of my kids?
What about money?
I’m afraid of him and scared to leave.
But I know he must be sorry
Because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today.
It was the day of my funeral.
Last night, he finally kileed me.
He beat me to death.
If only I had gathered
Enogh courage and strength to leave him,
I would not have gotten flower today.

Ok, well my two brothers are opticians. Must help. Lol
I’m also glad to walk on that flowery way.
Pour les lentilles, je préfère les miennes que les leurs. Comment j’ai su que tu les aimes? Peut-être que, je devine plein de choses en ce moment. :)
Belle journée!
Dear Ranjeet,
I agree with you. We are Us, of course. And maybe that’s why the Warrior helps by heart.
Of course the prostitute, the criminal and the denial are my brothers and sisters. As anyone on Earth.
The subject was “The Warrior of Light does not keep company with those who wish to harm him”. “Keep Company” means you share a certain time with, to my mind, doesn’t it?
They don’t inevitably harm. But some yes. Some do harm. not especially those, we could think about.
It’s worth to try and help, but until when, if there’s no result?
Should we spend our life for one another, just to fall with, because it says no to love, day after day? No to discussion, no to all? Or just for showing a sunny face ten minutes a week, though “keeping the company” of its victims? Because it would invite to see that being out of love or being beaten, is loving in a way?
It’s not worthwhile.
The meaning of us whistles everywhere. But noone is bound to hear it when we especially want to. Even Us. Sometimes, yes. Love can, if it’s shared.
Sometimes it seems the disease needs a new song, with new lyrics to hear. A new song than our. Cause that one just don’t please anymore. Or the disc is broken.
But there’s always someone coming after us, to sing the same song, in another melody. Just to see if there’s deafness or not, over there.
Thus, I really know life goes on helping anyone of us, to grow. We can have action of help everyday, just putting a feet in the street. We can help around us, indeed.
No is also important than Yes, as for me. Cause if I had to say yes, with regard to the acts of persons that harmed me, or the horrors that surrounded me so young, I won’t be there writing to you presently. Thanks to Life.
Yes and no, are like us: “could be different for different people”. Like the two opposites pics of the pendullum; Needing each other to turn and draw abstract lines, or circles. Finding within, its center balance or not.
A lovely day to all.
Dear Yajna, i can’t thank you enough for you long reply! As for the poem i read it somewhere too, recently, thank you for reminding me!!it is good to remember… you said
[quote post="957"]but i believe more in making sure you , yourself is alright, before you want to fix anyone. You know, if someone harms you, in any manner,you should seek help, and think of healing yourself before healing them[/quote]
you re so right!! fix me first, heal me first..give me the chances i am giving others.. and forgiving is really hard, you got me there..yet the need to feel lighter is becoming bigger and bigger…i don’t want to carry such a burden..
sending love
Anne
