Ah ha! I knew love
would be found if I looked for it. The truth is it is the search for love that
seemingly eludes us that leads to “wicked” behaviors. And, by the way, the
dictionary indicates wicked can mean “evil
or morally wrong, disagreeable, extremely unpleasant” just as it can also mean,
“very good, excellent, cool, awesome, wickedly smart!” In essence, it means
whatever you choose for it to mean. Sort of like the old saying, “in the eyes
of the beholder.”
All of this essentially lets us know that the
meaning to anything depends on the energy in which we interpret or intend it to
be. Darn if the responsibility isn’t
smack dab back in our laps. Just when it seemed comfortable to have someone
else to assign the label … or to blame!
There are many emotions stirred within when
an injustice happens. Our minds run the gamut of them all when something stirs
our heart. The bottom line however, is that when Love in the form of
compassion, understanding, detachment is administered, it tends to calm the “wicked”
thoughts within. The judgments, finger pointing and overall blame game only
fuels the negativity that leads to “wicked” thoughts and often actions.
It is a personal choice we make when our
hearts are stirred from mean-spirited actions. And yet, it is in the moving
through such actions that we learn the value of unconditional love. We learn
with whom to spend time with that feeds our heart with goodness, warmth, hope,
and inspiration.
Perhaps the next time we see “wicked” actions
that hurt another we will counterbalance those behaviors with unconditional
love. If each of us can actually take that action, we will make a
difference. Even if we are simply a pin
light in a large dark room we can and will be seen by someone who just may find
the courage to turn on their light as well. What a “wickedly” lovely idea!
