Psyche

I believe what I believe

And behave the way I behave

Based on my psyche

On what I've learned and assimilated

It's always good to reflect on these assumptions

These viewpoints

Are they augmenting to our life

Or are they taking away from it

Are they adding fear and anger

Or are they adding love and compassion

Everything is worth taking a good look at

Especially ourselves

We can change

If and when we want to

Been proven time and time again

I'm not saying it's necessary

Or implying one should change.

Compassion and forgiveness

Does not mandate changing

It simply mandates awareness

It's hard to be a complete hypocrite

When one is acutely aware

Of ones own foibles and faults

Humility sets that record straight

For the most part

Jesus fell in love with Mary Magdalena

Right?

So the story goes

This man

That leads entire religions

Fell in love with a prostitute

So who's to judge you

For who you give your love to

Wouldn't it be great

If we all harnessed the capacity to love everyone

Always

As God does

As Jesus did

As Buddha

As many other saints and sages

Have done

And will do

Because it is in our capacity to do

As humans

On this human experience

Are you to judge who you love

Why must we even judge at all?

(Ultra naive question. I'm sure. So many boogeyman out there; real and imaginary; even Christ had Pontius Pilate ..... supposedly*

I pass no judgement and even if I had been there I wouldn't have know the whole truth. I'm sure few did and do.)
