Walking Towards the Light Together

Love is to Recognize Yourself In Others.

--Eckhart Tolle

I used to be quite depressed, easily irritated, arrogant, inefficient and unorganized. The list could go on and on.  Sometimes when I look at my sons I see myself in them and I couldn’t help being a bit worried about their future.  How can they survive in this world with weaknesses like that?

I also talk to lots of people with depression, suicidal tendency or other issues that weigh on them. Sometimes I couldn’t help wondering whether they can really walk towards the light. One day I was cleaning the kitchen as usual. As it turns out, I am not that good at cleaning and organizing stuff.  As a matter of fact, I am especially inefficient in my daily life.  However, at that special moment, I had a realization. Suddenly I realized how I can be more efficient, more organized, and do a better job cleaning.  

Wow, that was a liberating moment!  I suddenly saw all the light in the people around me.  If even I can learn to be organized and efficient, why can’t they do the same?  If even I can walk away from depression and join the life with joy, why can’t they?  If even I can learn how to love and be love, why can’t they? I suddenly saw all the possibilities in all of us! Yes, one day, we will all realize that we are consciousness, love and light!  Enjoy!
