Did you ever hear the story of the little bird – once a little bird couldn’t help itself, for wherever it went it smelled like manure – unable to find peace nor solace he went to the wise eagle – “o’ great master wherever I go it smells like manure” – peering with its eagle eyes he said to the little bird, “why don’t you realize, once you pecked for a seed in manure and it’s still on your beak.”

You see in life we too are the little bird
Depending where our emotions / heart lies, is what our brain sees – wherever we go
If we are in love with anyone or anything, we can see nothing but what is desirable in it, for example, as you know, they say love is blind – have you ever been in love and all you can see is what is beautiful – how about when you are in love with something, be it a career, or person, a drug – all you can see is what is good about it – For you to get out of love, the pain must exceeds the pleasure (this is in fact is why liberalism is a disease – because it is based on a emotional love hence the ability to deny everything that is dangerous, if it will cause me to stop my love – it was liberalism that caused us to allow Hitler to arm hence kill tens of millions of people, it was liberalism that actual forced out the progressive monarchy from Iran inviting in a treacherous jihadist theocracy hell-bent on our destruction – at best, it is liberalism which has concluded a deal, giving them the ability to do so etc. etc.)
The flip-side of love is hate – have you ever been angry at someone or something – at that moment I am sure you could see nothing but reasons to take revenge, for like love hate is a disease – in the state of hate, all you can see is very valid reasons to activate the emotion – this is why ostensibly good people (at least in their own eyes ) for millennia butchered the best nation in the world (at least in terms of kindness) the Jews – this why, as we speak, there are hundreds of millions of Muslims who pray to god for your death; as we speak, hundreds of millions of savage Arabs who actually tried three God-forbid wars to push the Jews into the sea! and they are supported by many nations devoid of any moral fiber, yet perhaps not as rabid in their hate, but at least somewhat jealous of Jews – this is why there are so many people who hate Americana, jealous of our goodness and kindness
Have you ever felt fear – it as perfectly rational then to hide, to run; yes fear causes us to retract, as love is an attraction, as hate is a desire to destroy, and when we pick up a general anxiety about life, as it states in the Bible “you will be so cursed that the rustling of a leaf will cause you anxiety” for we think all things are possible-danger – our mind like a radar is constantly scanning for what can cause us harm
And here is the antidote to all the diseases mentioned
You see all these diseases fundamentally are ego base, I love because I wish to have pleasure, I hate because someone angered me (or I feel it isn’t fair someone is better than me ) and I even feel fear for I seek to protect myself – naturally understandable, but ego driven nonetheless (the proof is, a depressed person who hates themselves may be the one to kill themselves)
The antidote to all of the above is multi-faceted
Dealing with love – we must give up any desire, for as you see, it is an irrational addiction except the love to fulfill the will of God
Hate – well, if all you wish to do is the will of God, God certainly doesn’t want you to hate – the problem with hate is, it always masquerades itself as justice; but you as everyone else of-course also, are not the judge – if God needs to settle the score, it is his not your job
Last but least, dealing with fear – fear is a pernicious disease often born either from innate disposition (fear of the unknown etc.) or from circumstances which as mentioned can spiral into many other phobias – to get over fear you need to learn to trust – The Gateway Tor Trusting God – by reading this booklet you will learn how to have comforting, secure and rock-solid faith
