The
insecurity inside of us can make it difficult to balance a direct communication
with balanced feelings. Often it is our own egos that put a stop to the
unconditional love for ourselves and others. When we understand that it is ourselves
that we have to love without criticizing, the fears that pierce our hearts will
disappear.

Once again, I read from my

His eyes were glittering humbly,

I realized that although his
freedom would be short on the streets, he was ok with it. For him the freedom was
not to be on anyone’s “leash” and moreover, freedom had no sense of
time.

Once more, I felt shame over my own
faith experiences. The more people (and street dogs) I encounter, I come to realize
that it is about how I reacte to other people and animals. It shows who I
really am.

When
you have love for yourselves and for all, no one will be able to destroy you.
We stray dogs give each other respect, and respect where we are in our own development.

We
see you as lovable people. Your attitude to us animals shows where you are on
life’s path. When you stop receiving lessons you will be hard-hearted and dare
no longer to love anymore. You become judgmental people. An aggressive dog has
not been badly treated by life in itself, but by man within that life. An
aggressive street dog also knows that it is difficult to survive with
aggression, and walks away to be alone and heal itself. While an aggressive man
is not only attacking himself, but the entire Universe, the Earth, man and Animals.

Love
the Universe with all your heart, mind, and strength. Then you can love your
neighbor as yourself. We all come from the same source.
