217. Wanton Love

Love-Ahava. Hate-Soneh. Who hasn't gone through that?

" It is balanced and cured by wanton acts of love and kindness ", Sometimes...sometimes they have a hole so wide and deep that no hatred could ever fill, no acts of disdain could ever fulfill. But the most important factor here is for us to know and realize that we must never fall victim to their self punishment which easily transfers to our being.
We must be sure that we have from the beginning given from the heart, and understand that when we STOP FUNCTIONING or start to remember what we were like in the past. Then and only then must we find our exile. In cases like this we must not only look at it as day or night. But as the seasons.
I hope this helps those who are going through this with children and young and adults. Remember that they only have the permission that we give and allow them. I thank the Lord almighty for having the opportunity to go through this to help someone else. No matter the price that we have paid. Survived not with faith or belief, but with the ultimate.TRUST

i too stumbled on this one...

and yet equally returned the thought to G-d!

thank you.

In life I do run into wanton hatred. For sure not to the level of the holocaust victims and survivors have had experienced. I understand in self focus, self righteousness, self conceit one looks like he/she has all or is the answer. Since you say it is the reason given for your exile, I take as we all capable of that. In wanton acts of love and kindness in general I consent with you. My problem is how I recognize you are right until you are not. ( Of course it applies to me also, how right I am till I am not). At this time I can not reconcile between wanton love and the hate of evil. Am I confused here?

One who is narcissistic and evil in their privileged space cannot be changed by love, be it wanton or two tons, and only a fool who lies like prey in that hallowed space would try.

Wanton hate is its own god. " Love conquers all " is from a Latin cliche and scholars are not unanimous that the English translation ' love ' is correct. In any event, love does not conquer all, but it is a nice sentiment.

The article is a beautiful expansive ideal. May it be true in the World to Come. Wanton love sounds like the sole reason for ' Moshiach Now ! '

My bet is that Moshiach comes riding on a donkey and not in the Chariot.

May we perform acts of wanton love. Thanks for sharing!

Hitler's striving for "living-room" was as much excuse as reason for many atrocities and the loss of many lives--on both sides. This was a clear manifestation of wanton evil. Let is sow seeds of peace in remembrance.

Who is then the one loves another person by virtue of the space that other person consumes ???

absolutely wanton hence, the exile; it is the result after continuous self-admiration, self-applause, self-deceit.
We urgently need self-denial, self-consciousness, self-command. G-d, guide us far away from the''concentration camp'' of our self.

when you are in a everyday relationship with such a person and everyday feel he or she is taking a piece of you how much you give not to finish your being on him or her. are we supposed to give love to this person until he is balanced and cured. what if every time you give somewhere somehow you get banged by this person? how do you protect yourself not to be injected with his evilness. How to live not to be consumed and something left of you to live for yourself and those around you who need you?
