In peace and harmony...

In the same space...
At the same time...
The cow lies on the grass...
The bird rests on the cow...
Two chickens walk around the cow looking for food...
So peaceful and harmony...
No one owns this space, but everyone accept and respect one another to be sharing this same space of the universe...
Does the cow or the bird or the chickens require each other's permission to step into each other's "territory"?
But, if egoistic possessiveness starts to pervade one of these beings consciousness, then reactions of dislike, dissatisfaction, irritation and fear will surface and disrupt this peaceful harmony among these animals...

********

As for human beings...

When compassion exists, there's no anger and hatred...

If anger and hatred exist, there's no compassion...

There's no peace...

If we "think" we are good beings and are hating other beings that are not as "good" as we are, then obviously compassion is not there, even if we are "good"...

No matter how much we want to show our love to the "good things" that we love, and think that we are good beings and are being "compassionate", but at the same time, if we are hating other beings who are damaging the "good things" that we love, then what we thought was "compassion" in us is not really compassion at all...

Maybe we are good and want to promote "goodness", but it's not necessarily that we are being compassionate, if there is anger and hatred in us towards something that what we think is "bad" and "evil"...

There's no peace if anger and hatred exist in us even if we are "good" and love being "good"...

We try to, and want to be compassionate, but where is compassion when we are over-powered by anger and hatred?

We try to, and want to be in peace, but how can there be peace, when anger and hatred is there...

When anger and hatred disappear, compassion is there, peace is there...

Peace is never separated from compassion...

They exist together, they "come" together and they "leave" together...

Compassion and peace don't belong to "good" nor "evil"...

Compassion and peace are beyond good and evil...

It's beyond all the qualities and dualities of names and forms...

********

May all be in peace...

Be free from anger and hatred...
