The week has brought bruising news. Air disasters, wars domestic and foreign, excruciating accidents that cause our spirits to wonder why. And yet within the turmoil, were reminded that human suffering does not dim human hope. For all our brokenness as a humanity, humankind is out there experiencing the hope that comes with serving the need of someone else. The Dalai Lama describes two kinds of selfish people: The unwisely selfish: Those narcissistic -- interested only in themselves. And the wisely selfish: Those who know the best thing they can do for themselves is to be there for others. The wise experience joy. True joy. Amid the maelstrom of the recent news, seek this joy. Do, or be, for another. The quickest way to expand yourself and joy in the world is to give yourself away. In this, there is self-care, the lacking of which too often leads to the making of the worst news in the world. Make news, of the love kind!
