Where is the Love Hello my spiritual friend, I would like to take this opportunity to present a perspective expressed by John

E. Scotus, a philosopher in the court of Charles the Bald. Scotus is important to us for he is the one who not only brought Pseudo Dionysius to the West, but also translated it from Greek. The issue today is observing someone in love. What is important here is to appreciate what it is that we are beholding and its importance. In a family scenario, regardless of what ever the child has done, in the eyes of the parents, the child will always be there child and will respond accordingly. This does not negate nor dismiss the childs achievements outside the family, in either socials status, professional developments/achievements, or wealth garnishments, etc. These issues are indeed obvious and are readily cognizant to the parents, yet, the individual remains first and foremost as a child of theirs. This can also be reversed in every capacity, to a child, regardless of their parents achievements, within their relationship dad is still dad, and mom is mom. Siblingall quite the same. Now that this foundation is laid out, let us build upon this. Take for instance, a child is in prison, the reasonyou may place what ever is most abhorring to you. Yet, to this parent, guilty or not, that is their child, and all that they see and experience is their child. Now quickly, let us not perceive that the parent is in denial of their childs situation, the travel to the place of incarceration is quite real. Yet, despite all that the parents love and desire for their offsprings happiness and welfare is paramount. To us, as an outsider, we may perhaps fear them, are repulsed by them or even pity their beleaguered self. What ever our perspective, what exists between them is quite different from ours, theirs has not changed. The child will not tolerate anyone to come against his mother; he will defend her at all costs. He will readily feel anguish to see her weep at his forlorn existence and perhaps beg her not to cry. A feeling perhaps he did not manifest with their victim. Yet here, there is no denying both the status and aura. Now let me quickly allay any raised eyebrows as though I were to seek amnesty for any one incarcerated etc., this use(s) will play out in society legally and at large. I am merely focusing on the fact that what exists in a family relationship so readily transcends and social bounds. Now then, lets probe siblings; once again, they could be anything in society, from a CEO, CFO, to a rock star, actor/actress, etc. Yet among a sibling, let the action begin.there, within the familiar settings a sibling remains a sibling and the issues both good and bad emerge and take over, leaving behind any social dignity and acumen. Is all this good? Is it bad?

What I am attempting to convey, is that this love, this form of expression, exists and is nurtured early on and continues, in perhaps a variant manner, but will transcend any outside influence, unless a total loss of contact exists. For those who are older, say of the baby-boomers, and their parents are gone, no doubt the boomer

has achieved a level of success, which either made or would make their parents(s) pleased, and yet, oh, what they would give to have another day-week-month with their parents. Why!...Indeed why? This my friend is what God has instilled in all of us, a love which transcends any all ills. A love, which is well aware of your shortcomings, and yet welcomes you repeatedly, into open arms. Oh my spiritual friend, come to rise above the faults of others, and embrace them. Peace, Bro Smith SGS Http://Revelationinsight.tripod.com
