I live with an open heart.
The
Dalai Lama once wrote, “When we resist indulging in a self-centered
view of the world, we can replace it with a worldview that takes every
living being into account.” No one is truly alone in this world. We are
all dependent on others. The food we eat, the houses we live in, the
clothes we wear, are all provided through the hard work and
contributions of others. When I realize I am interconnected with
all beings, I appreciate their presence. I am able to feel empathy for
others, be kind, caring, and supportive. I look beyond myself and am
compassionate toward anyone who is going through a loss, a challenge, or
needs a listening ear. As I practice empathy, I live with an open heart
and offer a helping hand.
Saul said, “May you be blessed by the Lord for showing me compassion!”—1 Samuel 23:21
