People may not understand that many do not always have the privilege of just being able to look the other way or of not becoming involved when injustices are being done that can affect or impact the future of your offspring adversely in a negative way. It may be looked upon as just wanting to stir the pot unless you pretend like you are that person and it is your own offspring... then you will probably get it. No one enjoys being up in arms... God made you so that you could make a difference in this life and so that you could leave it overflowing with goodness, mercy for the downtrodden, pure agape love for all and that you could reconcile others to the fullness of an abundant life. God said of all of his comandments, it comes down to two things... love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and to love your neighbor as you love yourself. .. if you love others like you love yourself, then you do not have the luxury of always looking away.
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV
