Isnt the fact that you stopped to help this man an act of altruism, life helping itself? and isnt the fact that had you not done this previously, ignorance at work?

When we evolve and realise that things will only change if we decide to change them - then we take on the true challenge and responsibility of living lives as a warrior.

I think that you missed an important lesson here Paulo, that lesson being that ignorance is the real enemy and that it took spiritual fatigue to push you into action and help this man. If we all understoood and accepted our role as warriors then we would act this way more frequently and slowly, bit by bit, we would change the world for the betterment of Haumnity?

I have a question for you Paulo - did you help this man because you were tired of seeing him there or did you do it because at some level you love him and know it is your duty (as part of life) to help him?

I once dreamt of an old grey haired desolate man who needed help and the following day a man exactly as in my dream was sitting on the ground near the street in front of the hospital I worked at. I wondered what he was doing there but didn’t go over to see if he needed anything. I thought a nurse or a doctor is bound to come out and see him and check on him. I worried a little for my own safety in case he was mentally ill and would strike out at me but I always think of that moment and how maybe it was a reminder to me that I also need to stick my neck out a bit sometimes. It’s everyone’s responsibility.

sometimes those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts…ü

I noticed conviction comes in a sudden, as if we were suddendly becoming great warriors, that would brave the biggest tempest, that the sea would have never seen. But it’s volatile, and the time during which we are acting in truth, as a kind of purity, is so filled by things in movement, that we often don’t have a clue, about that magic moment, that occured. That perfect path from thought to creation, through heART.

Said, I’ve never really been stopped when helping someone, so, unless a lack of memory, I did “all the way”.
Yet, in other forms of giving, yes, unfortunately. Funny that I never thought about a) before…

Finally, it makes me remember a sentence in “Arizona dream”, by Emir Kusturica. When Faye Dunaway said to Johnny depp: “one person knows that you could fly, and he’ll make you fall”
… I found this quite positive, but there’s a little truth in it.

Thank you Paulo.
With love.
