Come,
let us consider
how the duality
of pushing
and pulling
could influence
our experience
of compassion
and love.
Our brain stems are wired
to push away from us
that which is a threat
to our survival
and reproduction.
However, when we push dangers
away from others
that is compassion.
Our brain stem is also wired
to pull things to us
that are favorable
for survival
and reproduction
and when we pull
those needful things
to others
that is love.
The difference between
aversion and compassion
is merely one of scope:
personal, or local,
or global, or universal.
The difference between
greed and love
is simply determined
by its beneficiaries:
ourselves,
or our neighbors,
or our fellow earthlings,
or all beings, of all worlds,
of all galaxies,
of all universes…
real or imagined.
Let us conclude
with a simple
call to action
