Buddha said that if you give it away it will come back ten fold. Practice giving and will will have everything you ever wanted and in turn it will change the world.

So beautifully said. What has caused most of the actual difficulties in the world is the act of withholding love. Love in the true sense of what that words means. Most entirely destroy that word, truncate its meaning to romantic love. Giving leads to more giving and not just of money, but of time, skills, patience, kindness all of it is love. You give it to someone and to borrow an American phrase it inspires, breathes life into others and they in turn give too. Most just need to be shown. Beautifully said.

It is the easiest thing in the world, and yet, due to fear the hardest. My view, you do not get out of this game called life alive, so you best enjoy the trip and leave the imaginings behind. You get one shot, make it count and that only works when you get involved with others.

Namaste.

God said it also. A good book to read is called a Love Revolution by Joyce Meyer

D malone, thanks for the reconmendation, I have been quoting God for a lot longer than I have been quoting Buddha, it just contantly amazes me how deep the influences of our maker run in all the religions of the world, ONE Energy, it the rest of mankind who seem to mess it up.
