Having a heart full of love but no ferocity with which to defend benefactors of said love, you its vessel, nor to vet out users, is folly.

Why is the duality of nature so hard for so many to come to terms with? The meek will not inherit the earth; that is a lie people who got much benefit out of subjugating the weak invented to make it easier for their progeny to continue to do so throughout the ages.

For example:

This is a shrike lovingly nuturing its young


This is a shrike skewering its prey on a spike


This is a grizzly bear raising a family


This is a grizzly bear preying on the flesh of the innocent in order to facilitate a reality where it gets to raise a family


This is a community of chimps who love and take care of each other


This is a community of chimps doing what it must to live a mode of life that the established order has refused to accept



The truest awakening of the human spirit will not be when the many learn to separate forever that which is good in them from the bad, but when the many learn to reconcile that which is good in them with that which is bad in them, and move forward in balance as complete beings.

Earth may not be ours to inherit. We may just be guests on here. Very poorly behaved and entitled guests, but yeah.
I agree with your definition of the truest awakening and would add a bit more to your words: ...'but when the many learn to reconcile that which is good in them with that which is bad in them, and move forward in balance as complete beings' and when the many remember who they are.

@SW-User thanks for your input; that was a good addition.

And yeah, we may not be here for much longer and perhaps that is as it should be. People would enjoy their time a lot more, though, if they stopped trying to deny themselves and each other.

@Eternity Currently, where we are at is polarisation, division and fear which overshadows love and compassion and togetherness. There is such heavy consumption of information that feeds into peoples beliefs that they cannot see how it's all breaking humans apart.
But perhaps that is something that is meant to be too.
