The Necessary Addiction

009

.

“We often say ‘love’

when we really mean,

and are acting out,

an addiction—

a sterile, ingrown

dependency relationship,

with another person serving

as the object of our need for security.”

.

~Stanton Peele

.

Love is a secure relationship.

That’s O. K. , everybody needs somebody,

God said so when he created Adam and Eve.

The message today, don’t forget to give

as much as you take.

There is no weaker sex,

emotionally we all need to love somebody,

having faith to believe  that a healthy love

will be returned.

Today, enjoy your addiction,

just don’t abuse it.

Love expresses the souls need for security.

Love is helping someone help themselves.

Destroyed

012

“These things

will destroy the human race:

politics without principle,

progress without compassion,

wealth without work,

learning without silence,

religion without fearlessness

and worship without awareness.”

.

Anthony de Mello, SJ

.

I do not know if it is the cynic in me

or just old age realism, but,

having been raised in the middle of the last century,

I perceive that the world has begun

the downward slippery slide towards destruction.

Everyone worships some things,

hopefully those things are peace of mind,

love of life and God.

Today, let us all pray and do our best to

reverse the downward trend.

Life is not to be taken for granted.

Life is living and loving in the here and now.
