Kindness

[Louisabell]

I was more speaking to your understanding that there is a way you would feel towards someone who you call a supporter of your favorite team, as opposed to someone who you determine is more worthy of the eternal moment of unity.
When we look at the world through the eyes of unconditional love and unity, all becomes either love, or a call for more love. Surely the point of meditation is to live in the eternal moment and accept all from this place.

I agree, and beautifully stated. I would say there are various levels of depth that we are speaking about though. I think you can be kind to a person without loving them, but just because you are a nice friendly person. Then one can grow to love one person unconditionally, like their life partner. What I think you spoke to at the end though contains the realisation of unity, a sort of loving-unity which I think is better termed compassion maybe. That I think takes much more to master.

I feel like some of the most profound experiences happen in our darkest hour of complete misery and surrender.

I agree, and I have experienced these peak dark night of the soul moments. Times when you scream out to the Creator, feeling forsaken and lost in despair. These times were so acutely painful, yet I cherish them. We are forged in the fire, as they say.

So to say that there is not enough support available for the emotional healing necessary, seems to be missing the point and necessity of behavior that can be perceived as dark, by those who fail to recognise the perfection in all things.

Agreed, but I would imagine that seeing the perfection in all things would be pretty far along the path? We can certainly try at it, but there are still many tragedies in this world that still cause catalytic action in me. We can only work with what we have and where we are at. Also I see people calling out for emotional support in this world. I see it all the time.
