Points to Ponder: All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate… I choose love. – Johnny Cash
Story Line: During recent drives down the streets, I discovered signboards outside some houses with messages that are worth pondering.
The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; But, it is fear. – Gandhi
Reflection: Yours.....
Thank you Anand!!

Agree. It is fear. Always will be fear. Fear of being judged. Fear of not being part of the norm. Fear for being different. Fear of failing.

I totally agree. Fear is the root. Even insecurity is just an extension of fear. This is the only thing thing that 'mutates' into and projects other forms of feelings and impulses which drive us toward unworthy/unfair/selfish/damaging thought nd actions. - And fear is nothing but a lack of realisation of Love. For Love & fear can NEVER co-exist.

Thank you Mr. Shah for your guidance. Every time I see your words of wisedom whenever I am stressed or feeling worried about work or personal life, I get a charge of energy. This energy from your readings gives me a positive outlook of what’s ahead of me.
Thank you Sir for your wonderful reflections!
Sincerely your friend,

Wonderful reflection and great comments above. I rarely use quotes but the one that is on my mind frequently “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” Nelson Mandela

It’s a welcome breath of good news to learn about these positive, upbeat signs reflecting the values and ideals of America — of decency, compassion, love and caring, especially in the present highly divisive time of tribalism, nativism and racial supremacy. Underlying hatred, fear, animosity and most human problems of conflict is a reluctance, inability or failure to see the simple truth that all beings are sparks of the same universal divine. Healing and loving become easier if we remember this truth.
