Sometimes it’s very difficult
to get along with our family members, neighbors and friends. But
it’s even more difficult if we don’t try to get along;
we’ll lose some of our power, our loving kindness. Anytime
we hate our neighbor, we lose some of our enlightenment. Anytime
we think negatively about someone, we lose some of our Self; we
lose some of the Light and some of the Heavenly happiness that normally
belongs to us. So if we see all this clearly, we know that we actually
can’t afford to hate anyone but that’s the problem;
that’s the most difficult part of living in this world. Because
everything makes us angry; everything annoys us; everything seems
to go against us. Yet at the same time, we must love them all and
that can be very, very difficult.
