Mercy and love

While sitting in the bus, there is this thought come to me. What is love? What is mercy? Is love and mercy equal? Is merciful seed in human will grow unconditional love! I believe all human have merciful hearts in their deep root of humane. It is just that we do not know how to express out in a loving way.

If you have realised, we always reprimand the close one (parents, siblings, spouse, children etc) who are around us. It could be because we always take for granted that the close kin will be able to take it. Yes, they do cos they love us and show mercy to us by their tolerance. Why we reprimand or scold them, it is because our fear that lead us to have that action out for love that we have for our kin.

Remember the advertisement Good Well brand, the lady was asking the man to have the drink instead the man start by getting angry and wanted to order something else. Eventually the man still take the drink that the lady suggested cos she say "I love you".
This is the fear and love for the man from the lady. The man accept the love. It is a form of merciful thoughts from the lady and that for the man's health.

People start to have war is because of their fear that they want to protect their people out of love. If the leader could show mercy and love to opposite party and understand that you will be the one to initiate the war, please have mercy on others and on yourself. Do not let your anger, hatred overrule your head. There will be peace, love will groom out of showing mercy. As we are all humans despite our sinful nature, we have merciful heart and love to counter it.

I believe this world will soon be filled with mercy and love for one another.

World peace! The world will be filled with love. Angels and lotus flowers...
