We so often harden our hearts against those who are different from us in their views, their beliefs and their cultures. This is born out of conflict and a wish to stay within our own ‘tribe.’ We harden our hearts to protect ourselves. When conflict occurs we close ourselves off from anything different from ourselves. The irony is that if we opened our hearts and let ourselves be vulnerable we would lead richer, deeper and more fulfilling lives. We would have more love and joy in our lives. Don’t let the media and the news trick you into thinking that the world is against you. Open your heart and welcome the world in. This is deep living.
