Love rejoices in good wherever it finds it; envy is pained by good, and the sight of the happiness of others hurts the eyes and the heart of the envious man. love wishes to give; envy would rather receive. love creates; envy destroys. love builds up; envy pulls down. love helps those in need, comforts the afflicted, and strives to turn all that is evil into good; envy would turn the little happiness to be found in this world into evil, sorrow, and pain.

Love Rejoices In Good Wherever It Finds

Lawrence G. Lovasik
Love rejoices in good wherever it finds it; envy is pained by good, and the sight of the happiness of others hurts the eyes and the heart of the envious man. love wishes to give; envy would rather receive. love creates; envy destroys. love builds up; envy pulls down. love helps those in need, comforts the afflicted, and strives to turn all that is evil into good; envy would turn the little happiness to be found in this world into evil, sorrow, and pain.

Love Hurt Pain

More From Lawrence G. Lovasik

Antisthenes used to say that envious people were devoured by their own disposition, just as iron is by rust. envy of others comes from comparing what they have with what the envious person has, rather than the envious person realising they have more than what they could have and certainly more than some others and being grateful. it is really just an inability to get a correct perspective on their lives.
Gratitude Grateful Iron
Wherever snow falls, or water flows, or birds fly, wherever day and night meet in twilight, wherever the blue heaven is hung by clouds, or sown with stars, wherever are forms with transparent boundaries, wherever are outlets into celestial space, wherever is danger, and awe, and love, there is beauty, plenteous as rain, shed for thee, and though thou shouldest walk the world over, thou shalt not be able to find a condition inopportune or ignoble.
Beauty Stars Rain
Recently, one friend asked me, "how can i force myself to smile when i am filled with sorrow? it isn't natural." i told her she must be able to smile to her sorrow, because we are more than our sorrow. a human being is like a television set with millions of channels. if we turn the buddha on, we are the buddha. if we turn sorrow on then we are sorrow. if we turn a smile on, we really are the smile. we can not let just one channel dominate us. we have the seed of everything in us, and we have to seize the situation in our hand, to recover our own sovereignty.
Hands Sorrow Able
We want everything. all the happiness that earth and heaven are capable of bestowing. creature comforts, and heart and soul comforts also; and, proud-spirited beings that we are, we will not be put off with a part. give us only everything, and we will be content. and, after all, cinderella, you have had your day. some little dogs never get theirs. you must not be greedy. you have known happiness. the palace was paradise for those few months, and the prince's arms were about you, cinderella, the prince's kisses on your lips; the gods themselves cannot take that from you.
Dog Heart Kissing
Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.
Pain Grief Heart
Easy to see that naught save sorrow could bring a man to such a view of things. and yet a sorrow for which there can be no help is no sorrow. it is some dark sister traveling in sorrow's clothing. men do not turn from god so easily you see. not so easily. deep in each man is the knowledge that something knows of his existence. something knows, and cannot be fled nor hid from. to imagine otherwise is to imagine the unspeakable. it was never that this man ceased to believe in god. no. it was rather that he came to believe terrible things of him.

I happen to believe that we should move to a medicare-for-all single-payer system, similar to what other countries around the world have.

The genius of capitalism consists precisely in its lack of morality. unless he is rich enough to hire his own choir, a capitalist is a fellow who, by definition, can ill afford to believe in anything other than the doctrine of the bottom line. deprive a capitalist of his god-given right to lie and cheat and steal, and the poor sap stands a better than even chance of becoming one of the abominable wards of the state from whose grimy fingers the reagan administration hopes to snatch the ark of democracy.
