While we are breathing we want to breathe clean air.
If possible we want our air to be perfect
But there are so many impurities in the air.
Sometimes we face haze and high levels of pollution.
Do we stop breathing because of this imperfection?
While we are loving, we want the people we love to be good
We want all our social contacts including family members
to be as close to perfect as possible
When we are confronted with their numerous imperfections,
do we stop loving.
It was Osho, comparing breathing to loving
Loving is a part of our human nature
as essential for our happiness as breathing is for our survival
Our ego gets all too often in the way
Our ego wants to be superior and inhibits love
Our ego wants to win and show our superiority
while happiness resides in humility
Let us be clear about this in our minds and
be always aware about the huge importance of love
about the huge importance of plainly accepting imperfection
None of us is perfect. We ourselves are imperfect.
Our spouse/partner is imperfect, our parents and siblings are imperfect
Our extended family, our friends, our neighbours, all imperfect
At the same time there is so much good to be found
in each and everyone.
Let us focus on the good things, not let imperfection get in the way of love...
