Understanding each other is always incomplete, but being there for each other fills the gaps. Caring for one another is the responsible thing for humans to do and helps complete who we each are.

Indeed, I need to be understood and heard.
We each do.
I understand this to some degree.
My question is, if we are on a spiritual path, see the need to give and support the needy, but what do we do with the masses narcissistic behaviour.
America is self centred, a cares little except themselves.
How do you embrace the world like this.
Hospitals who act like they care deeply at treatment will garnish a families wages six months later and render them homeless.
I find little compassion and much suffering in my little Oregon town.
It is disappointing to watch people behave so selfishly.
I was reading David Loy today and many of those thoughts and questions arose as I read. It is no easy journey, but perhaps it is the challenges that make it rewarding
Researched David Loy a bit, interesting, Zen mixed with social behaviour, ethics.
He has many books, please recommend and describe how you see him?
I have just begun to read him and the book I began with is “The World is Made of Stories.” Several authors I am using for my dissertation quote him about the ethics of teaching. What I read in this first book makes me want to read more.
Thanks
Happy New Year! I’ll be counting on you.
Thank you. Have a wonderful 2015.
