In this message, Harold W. Becker shares the question, at what point do we determine a stranger has become our friend? How would life be different if our perspective was to naturally see each fellow human as a friend first? For me, a fundamental change in my perspective has led to some truly astounding interactions with countless individuals worldwide none of which could have happened without a change in my prevailing belief to this simple attitude at heart we are all true friends. For more please go to www.thelovefoundation.com
He continues... for most of us, we are taught at an early age to be wary of strangers and anyone unfamiliar to us. Perhaps it is a sincere attempt by those wishing to ensure a sense of protection and safety that such a social structure even exists. However, could this ultimately be a false perception based on unrealistic logic that has been perpetuated through eons of time, passing from generation to generation? At a core level of understanding, can we really be strangers to one another?
My personal unfolding journey of self discovery has led me to a vast new awareness that is far beyond the scope of the education and life skills I was initially taught to believe in my early years. When I think back on the many different concepts and suggestions that were shared through numerous channels, I now see how they were often an attempt at conformity and compliance to social and behavioral standards of the day. Personal doubts, challenges and fears of others were disguised as appropriate teachings to somehow (hopefully) ensure a more stable social order. Yet, the fundamental challenge remained, anyone outside the structure was considered a stranger and this view on life instantly creates separation. Separation is the pain we all suffer from and it is really an illusion. We are all interconnected and interdependent on this beautiful blue orb we call earth.

Love combined with courage is a powerful mix. It becomes uncoditional and constant. Most people begin their lives with positive emotions but as they grow they get hurt and change , for children are pure but in many ways unprotected.
If you find life to cruel and you dont know how to feel love anymore , remember how you started and you can start over. And if you try and still cant , then its the courage to forgive that is needed.
