In one of Anthony de Mello's books.. He quoted

"If you want a perfect world, get rid of the people."

It brought laughter in me but ouch! it caught me.. it caught me deep. it made me reflect on the things that i / we are doing. there is so much meaning on this simple statement that allowed me to ponder on the ways of this world. we wanted a perfect world. we wanted each and everyone to live simple lives, equal opportunities, everybody understanding each other, guiding each other... simply helping each other...

but that doesnt happen now. everybody wants a perfect world but nobody is working to have a perfect world. everybody has his own wants. everybody has his own motives. everybody has his "own" description of what a perfect world is. even myself has my own definition of a perfect world.. which i don't think coincides with what you want... and maybe that quote brought a lot of meaning to me since people are the ones who caused this "perfect world" that God has given to be "un-perfect"

i'm writing this because it somehow brings pain in me. we all wanted to attain a perfect world where no one can hurt each other.. in a bigger picture i believe God feels this pain. This earth has been deeply captured by the evil one. As you look around us, the once-paradise now becomes a circus. i have been a part of this circus. we all are part of this. we are part of the blame.

I believe this is not the end of things.. God has shown His great love. He still loves us. We could not attain the perfect world that we wanted but we could have the "perfect world" that God sees. The world that God wanted us to live. We can get rid of people, we can get rid of ourselves but we can strive to work together as one and just LOVE.

Perfect World is Perfect Love.

The way God loves us. The way He sees us. The way He accepts us. The way He wanted us. The way He forgives, corrects, and desires us. God has been moving all of us to love. Love our brothers and sisters.. Love our family.. and even love our enemies. Yes we all have heard this before.. to love.. but i just want to once again say it.. say it out loud... TO LOVE... it's not that easy but we should try and do it. even if it brings tears and hurts.. but we should. it's difficult for me... but i'll try AND DO IT. erase all pain and just continue giving myself.

To attain a perfect world... is to love the world just like God does.
