“An honourable human relationship, that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word love, is a process of deepening the truths they can tell each other. It is important to do this because it breaks down human self-delusion and isolation.”
- Adrienne Rich
Maybe it’s time to stop playing the game of mystery, and just open up wholeheartedly to the completeness of my being. Maybe it’s time to lay all my cards on the table, open out my hand, and authentically express who I am, what I want, and what I’m here to offer. Perhaps then, and only then, will the richness of love, from one and all, flow peacefully throughout my life. What do you think, is it time to be totally transparent?

This statement is all so powerful. From my experience if everyone followed the values of openness, whether it be in communication to family or friends this would resolve many of the disputes of the world. Lack communication and compassion can sometimes be the cause of the great conflicts of the world. Compassion and openness can lead to more open communication flows and maybe even develop trust amongst other individuals. However it may hurt. Through the work I have done in Young Jains and other community projects meeting people who are open and willing to share there thoughts, experiences and knowledge has been one of the most valuable experiences and provides such an energy.
