Gandhi had a quote I still remember almost 20 years after reading it
He said the means by which we live have surpassed the means for which we live
Here in politics our desire to defend the values and morals and love we consider dear and sacred to our souls has exceeded our initial commitment to our values and morals and love for ourselves and our society and our God
Anger must not exceed your desire to protect the victimized person who makes you angry because if it does it is no longer a fight based on love but a vile excuse to hate a belittle others
In the same way that a single grain of rice is not enough to feed your belly
So a single positive thought is not enough to feed your soul unless it is based on the infinite measure of God’s love which has no limit
