There is so much suffering, pain, ugliness in this world. Many of us watch it helplessly and many of us are also in its clutches and are its victims, what do we do? What would you offer a person in pain?
Injustice exists and I can’t pretend to have an answer for that. I’m not a guru and I can’t explain why bad things happen to honest people. It’s also true that evil is much more visible than good. See how easy it is to destroy and how laborious it is to build.
Nevertheless I think that we are all responsible if the world is the way it is. That’s why instead of looking for the guilty or weak, we should look at our attitudes and ourselves.
We cannot set out to change the world but we can try to change ourselves. If we are capable of that: of mending our ways, of being generous to life, then we will be able to see that good is everywhere. There’s a wide range of heroes that work in silence and that try to enhance the state of the world.
What we focus on we create. If 200,000 people focus on the beauty of nature, the gift of friendships, the wonder of children, peace, harmony, and the magnificence of life, that is what we will create.
Maybe we should stop looking too closely at evil, corruption, violence, and cruelty, because even though we chose not to partake, we nevertheless allow it to become our reality.
I am looking at the sky, Cristina, the clouds are disappearing. It is blue all over, just picture perfect.:D
This passage from the bible seems to be a good example of the way to treat a person who is in pain because of something wrong that they have done:
John 8
2At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11″No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
thelma , and the action
…
not easy , yes , but one little action X 200.500 persons = a chance
To ease the pain and unhappiness in the World, the only way is to pray and ask from the Light permission, to help others carry their Cross and ask for forgiveness for all of us. To lead us open our hearts to love by ex-ostracising the Devil.

You are right Paulo;
It is so eas to demolish and it is so hard to build. This is why evil seems to be more spread and powerfull than good.
We have to fix our and others’ hearts to make this world better. I think that WOL is always in search of good and true, and his/her strong hope (wheter there is evil all around) will help him/her to achieve it.
My personal experience (if small is it):
I knew the moral pain and its devastating intensity / the love and the joy of living and the hope must be stronger than everything, and allows to survive
I knew the physical pain / strength of the life and the love allows to surmount (many patient who have the morale and keep the enjoyment of life in their heart, cure better that the others = and it is scientifically proved = never to give up(lower the arms) = 30 in 50 % no more chance to take(bring) out there better) my doctor said to me: it is what your strength, always to keep smiling and the laughter and the joy of living, it is your therapy
I am lucky, I am of positive nature, I was like that born!! I get up with the smile and I go to bed with the smile (even if my life also saw my tears of suffering) = keep always in the spirit that it is necessary to keep the love in your heart and the love for any thing, even in the MOST DIFFICULT moments, because the LIFE and the AMUR in you is STRONGER THAN EVERYTHING
LOVE / HOPE / INTERNAL STRENGTH
( DO NOT HESITATE in: to ask of the help(assistant), to ask for the love if you need to be stronger / to give some love and a smile which can return more hardly the one who suffers near you)
Thus always act and react ^ – ^
mon expérience personnelle ( si petite soit elle ) :
j’ai connu la douleur morale et son intensité dévastatrice / l’amour et la joie de vivre et l’espoir doit être plus fort que tout , et permet de survivre
j’ai connu la douleur physique / la force de la vie et de l’amour permet de surmonter ( beaucoup de malade qui ont le moral et gardent la joie de vie en leur coeur , guérissent mieux que d’autres = et c’est prouvé scientifiquement = ne jamais baisser les bras = 30 à 50% plus de chance de mieux s’en sortir )
mon médecin me disait : c’est quoi votre force , toujours garder le sourire et le rire et la joie de vivre , c’est votre thérapie
J’ai de la chance ,je suis de nature positive, je suis née comme ça ! ! , je me lève avec le sourire et je me couche avec le sourire ( même si ma vie a vu aussi mes larmes de souffrance …) = garder toujours en l’esprit qu’il faut garder l’amour en votre coeur et l’amour pour toute chose , même dans les moments les PLUS DIFFICILES, car la VIE et l’AMOUR en vous est PLUS FORT QUE TOUT
AMOUR/ESPOIR/FORCE INTéRIEURE
( NE PAS HéSITER à : demander de l’aide , demander de l’amour si vous avez besoin pour être plus fort / donner de l’amour et un sourire qui peut rendre plus fort celui qui souffre près de vous )
donc toujours agir et réagir ^ – ^
thak you Raj, I agree.
Let’s spread peace.
Have a nice day
I beleve in the law of Karma. Whatever one sows, he reaps. Thats explain why bad things happen to good people. The best thing for individual to do is spreading the peace and love so the vibration of the world will become more peaceful and loving state.
Love all,

Dear Hildegarde,
the source of inspiration for your comment above is quite obvious…
You cannot possibly see into the heart and mind of the so called “ego” to which you refer… and pain… is most definitely not an illusion…
… it is being experienced now… physically…
I wish you no pain… & certainly no malice…
Love, Paul
We created the mess we are in, it is up to us to be conscious and start moving forward not backward.
On the letters to be sent to the Dpt of Peace in Washington, yesterday,I read the following I can’t remember the exact words, it goes something like that though :
“How about heroes of war get changed to heroes of peace instead”
Alison Bliton
How pertinent!
life is not easy as all say!!! and we know that we ever have chalenges and every day a new one in a way when we have all kind of problems i find that talking and not supressing might help one, and if we have a friend , partner, children, parents or a proffesional – some time they can help one HOW TO DEAL with the day to day struggle.
as for my self when I had breast cancer 6 years ago, talking – helped me a lot, when my daughter went thru a liver transplant 8 years ago , talking and asking helped me a lot,
i believe that we all have to find our way to deal with all these problems,,,, it feels better!
I agree with everyone here. If we just focus on ourselves, how we want to be, who we want to be each day, it will make a difference. It is easy to get sucked into the pain of mass consciousness and the hysteria and negativity in the media. But we have to choose who we want to be and how we want to show up in our daily lives and interactions, setting examples to everyone we interact with. I agree, we can change the world…
Thanks,

“Nevertheless I think that we are all responsible if the world is the way it is. That’s why instead of looking for the guilty or weak, we should look at our attitudes and ourselves.”
Yes, I think there are no other alternatives now.
“Maybe we should stop looking too closely at evil, corruption, violence, and cruelty, because even though we chose not to partake, we nevertheless allow it to become our reality.”
Yes Akua. I agree so well. I was precisely thinking about the fact that we had no choice but to plunge in this good vibe, to taste its real essence.
Thank you.

This morning I heared my ego talking, first I didn’t noticed after a walk I said to myself…how selfish can I be when I say “I took her pain away”?
Pain is an illusion, to be in pain is to be an illusion. This illusion gives me the power to take and be who my ego wants to be.
To take someones pain away gives a possibility to be the pain of the one you think to heal…gives you power to destroy too.
Instead of seeing and being pain I choose to be love here and now. Sharing this vibration gives the universe on earth, heals the heart from within to all that is.
Love

A friend of mine ,psychologist, used to say that a good cure for depression was in changing the attitude of our spine.
Try to look at up the sky, have good, deep breaths and you’ll realize that , after some minutes, also your mind won’t be so blue.
I associated this advice with the chinese advice that says:”a hand points at the sky: the wise man sees the stars; the silly man sees the finger”.
This is not good for every situations, but it can help.
The question is: what do we want to see? only bad things or also good things?
The answer is up to us.
Have a nice day with your eyes up, among the stars.
We are voluntarily visiting this site, alongside another two hundred thousand people……..!
This is nearly the size of a great Army !
So, what can we do ?
We are coming on this site to the morning, lunchtime, evening or late night ”prayer” and are getting our hearts and minds together for a few minutes at a time
What can’t we do ?
We can spread the Word…..against injustice, against exploitation, against profit at all costs, against violence, against bloodshed
Yes, as Warriors of the Light, we can on individual bases, lead by example
By the way we live, we could reflect the image of the World we want
I discuss with my friends and neighbors many of the topics read on this site
Can you imagine TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND people doing the same ?
Would that generate a small ripple on the World Ocean of ideas ?
We could rely behind one of the most influential Human Beings of our time ! We could soldier on together for a great multitude of causes. One at a time but with huge energy and determination to succed
All we need is the Word go and the Spark to reignite our flame !
