Love --- seing things pink ?!

As I tell countless people that I meet , I also told the group of Israelis, Palestininan and Internatinal Peacemakers about my thoughts about the wall – the manifested representation of my/our inner problems and limitations and that if we begin to change inside, problems will be resolved in the outer world, too. Everything can change, if we chose to love and if we pray to God that he will teach us to remember to always love more and understand more etc…
Anyhow, a comment of a girl shortly afterwards was “Things are far more complicated. You see things too pink. Etc”

Yes and no, would be my reply. I maybe see things pink. I remember my former boss, when I was 22 years old working in a travel agency. She told me: Claudia, I like your enthusiasm and your love for life. But that is because you are 22 and you don´t know any better. You have a nice positive but naïve way to look at the world. But that will change, you will see when you are as old as I am (she was 32). Well I am 33 now, but I do not think I lost much of that entusiasm and love for life. Maybe that is also why a lot of people think I am much younger J

Anyhow, I think: yes, life is complicated. Also for me. Everybody carries his personal load. But as true as it is to say: life is complicated. You can say: life is easy. Love God. Love your neighbour. Love yourself. If you do that, if you let go of your fear. You have nothing to lose. Just imagine everybody would believe that and would act according to that. All wars would immediately come to an end. It is radical and it is very easy. We just have to decide to choose love over hatred, rejection, fear etc. It is not complicated. We make it complicated. Because we hold on to our fears, hatred and feelings of hurt and rejection. But we can change at any moment. Infact we can chose to change RIGHT NOW. And I will go on spreading this message. To everybody that wants to hear it.

I think LOVE is the ultimate answer to every problem. Yes to EVERY problem. And if we want to say NO that is not true, then I want to say: STOP for a moment. Think about it twice. Is love really not the answer? Can love bring about war ? Can love – I mean true pure love – really bring about anything that is bad? If you are absorbed in the love of God, can you do anything wrong or negative? I would say no, you can´t. And if you say Yes, I can. I would reply: ask yourself if you then really do feel and act out of love or if you are fooling yourself.

I repeat this before I end: in my eyes LOVE is the cure for everything. Love will bring about peace. Lasting peace. And through the power of love, we can also learn to forgive and to act selfless. And at times where we feel we can´t love, we can turn towards God and ask him for help. And he is always ready to help us… We are his kids. He is our loving father.
