A good reminder Tut’s from the Universe

What does it mean to be a “good friend”?
16 AprPerhaps the hardest part about truly being a good friend is not remembering the birthdays or finding the perfect gift. Perhaps it is not finding the perfect way to express your version of friendship, but finding the perfect way to accept theirs.
It is truly accepting the other person; accepting them for who they are and where they are at. And when they don’t meet your “expectations” it’s forgiving them and loving them anyways.
We all need a lot of forgiveness, don’t we?

On the land of love, “You refuse to need any particular person or to be special to anyone or to call anyone your own. – To see at last with a vision that is clear and unclouded by fear or desire.”
16 NovAnthony de Mello in “Awareness”
“Community is not formed by a set of slaves, by people demanding that other people make them happy. Community is formed by emperors and princesses. You’re an emperor, not a beggar; you’re a princess, not a beggar. There’s no begging bowl in a true community. There’s no clinging, no anxiety, no fear, no hangover, no possessiveness, no demands. Free people form community, not slaves.”
