the biggest untruth is that we don't have love. we can prove this by giving. do we feel better or worse when we give. i mean give without a thought of getting anything in return. i remember one run i made at work. the guy was getting flown out by helicopter and the new medics were around. i love the excitement of working in these situations, but i remembered this truth and gave all the work to them. i was soaring with joy watching them gain experience and knowledge. it was truly amazing that by giving these things away, my joy increased. it really works.

saying no to abuse is love, as well appleworks
and when you feel that boundaries have been crossed, saying no is appropriate. this short-circuits anger. the bitterness comes when we feel we have been offended or taken advantage of, but we say nothing or worse still, try harder for acceptance. no is a very powerful statement of 'i am valuable.' but i see your point in what you did, and it is a very good thing. i have a mother who is much the same way. i disliked her for a long time until i decided to raise my awareness of what i was doing. it was after i had moved out, though.

Avant -
Great post! I like the paragraph about blocking the flow of love. You're right. Any "thing" will get in the way of that flow., unless we are unconditionally loving that "thing" (animal, plant, etc.).
