I Am

I saw the documentary by Tom Shadyac today called I Am.  I have never been so inspired in my life.  This film discussed the interconnectedness of all life in the universe and the scientific research they have to back it up.  A huge thing they discussed is how important LOVE is.  Research has been done on other species that shows competition is not a primary part of nature.  It is the same in humanity; indigenous populations revere cooperation over competition.

I am inspired to give more love.  I have felt this way for a long time and my journey in SoCal has amped up my desire to spread the love.  However, my inspiration is paused because I'm timid to give my love to even the people I feel very close to.  I think this is partially due to fear of judgement from the society around me.  Our society has become competitive and un-loving, which I believe has become so rooted in myself as well as others that creates this fear of showing our emotions.  Will these expressions of love that I have for others and the world around me be reciprocated?  What other factors may be playing a role in my timidity?  I hope to find the answers to these questions and overcome my fears so I can always spread love.

"What is wrong with the world?  I am.  What is right with the world?  I am."
