Another Example of How Love and Truth Are The Same

[Razard86]

When you do something, do you take great care to do it? Do you pour over with great effort all the ways you can do a thing well? Do you put great CARE in every detail? To do this, is to do it with HEART and this makes it authentic! For example if you critique something....do you go through the motions or do you take great care to see if your critiques are authentic? 

This is what honesty is, truth is, care is, which is love. When you love something you care for it, and spend time on it. When you don't love a thing you go through the motions and don't really pay it any mind which is what we call being unconscious. Throughout my time on these forums I have come across many who do not take great care in what they post, they just react and post. "

When you post something whether it is a thread or a reply understand that you are representing yourself. Think before you post. Question yourself before posting. Aim to give the subject matter your utmost attention. What you don't realize is HONESTY makes you smarter. It makes you CARE about things like details, it gives you clarity and wisdom. When you make half-hearted posts without much thought that is actually a form of dishonesty. Why? Because you didn't CARE if what you said was true, you just shot from the hip what you felt. That gut feeling could come from an insecurity, and since it wasn't well thought out and checked for its accuracy it just becomes a dishonest criticism.

What is dishonest criticism? Criticism that cannot pass its own muster, it's own standards. If I can easily poke holes and show contradiction in your critiques then it means you are dishonest. Criticism/judgment is how you ascertain life, if you do not learn discernment, and nuance, and accountability you will walk around turning yourself into a victim and will dishonestly perceive the world. 

The FIRST question you should always ask before you critique or do anything is "How do I make sure I do this right? Because I could get it wrong. Next would be what factors could contribute to me getting this wrong? What is wrong and what is right in this instance? After that with great care and contemplation aim to express your opinion with the highest authenticity possible.

This video by Leo helps with this. Anytime you think about something, consider as many possibilities you can about something and then look to see what actually sticks. All those possibilities could be valid in some way but certain possibilities will hold MORE true.

You don't get it, a typo is a result, I'm not pointing to results because you do not have complete control over results. You do however have complete control over effort. If you give your best effort whenever you engage in any activity then you can live with the results. Why? Because you gave all you had.

Love gives all that it has for something, it holds nothing back because to hold something back would be to be conditional. If you truly love something you give your all for it because you care about it. This is why if you give your all to something and it doesn't work out if you are honest with yourself you will realize you cannot actually have regrets. Why? Because you gave everything you had. 

This is the secret of growing in Self-Love. Whatever you put your mind to, give all you have and then you can live with the results. If others try to judge and demonize you, ignore them because you KNOW THE TRUTH. The truth was that was the BEST YOU COULD DO. This is what it truly means to live a life with NO REGRETS.
