The cycle of life – from love to fear to goodness

By zevi770 · March 31, 2016

 

In the beginning (hopefully) we begin life with total security – our needs, both emotional as well as physical, are fully catered for – in this state we are well, quite simply put, in love – we are in love with ourselves, in love with the world around us (often which really is the result of being in love with ourselves, for we assume as we love, so do others; for we think others are thinking/feeling as we do, so as love is reactional, and sensing that others love us, we in turn love them).

 

Then we get hit by bullying (as studies show, all people have been bullied, for the greatest virus in our universe is jealousy of love, which is the cause of bullying, antisemitism, terrorists etc.) Now we learn not to trust – instead of sensing the world is a loving place, we sense that the world is dangerous.

 

In fact this is necessary (which is why G-d made it so). You see, if we never encountered evil, we would trust evil – as we see how stupidly those who live in the security of western countries actually trust terrorists; for-example, that the Arabs who started three wars in their words “to push the Jews into the sea” bloodthirsty-wolves, suddenly, as they say want peace… Like fools to the slaughter the whole world celebrated their newfound change of heart – when in actuality, with any territory given to their control they turn it into an orgy of hate and a location with which to murder Jews – The list is endless, but this is a simple example.

 

So learning that evil is real – many people are angry and when in the state of anger a person’s heart becomes jealous of love, and hence begins to rationalize why the terrorism of those who love is justified, is fundamental.

 

Now the reason this leads to goodness is because – goodness is an action – it is not an emotion – Love in fact is only good insofar as it leads to positive speech and action.

 

For ultimately the gaol is not the beautiful feeling, emotion, sensation of love; rather the beautiful action that by osmosis create symbiosis, positive-relationships.
