Love - OR - Fear

"Love is the only reality

and it is not a mere sentiment.

It is the ultimate truth

that lies at the heart of creation." Rabindranath Tagore www.brainyquote.com

Love or kindness is full engagement with real life. Fear and closely-related hate, anger & anxiety, are failures to connect with reality - devoid of life-sustaining love.

The two are polar opposites and mutually exclude each other. Loving-kindness feels open, warm & relaxed. Fear, hate, anger & anxiety feel closed, cold & tight.

We can learn to feel which of these two states dominate, and repeatedly choose to engage lovingly with life.
