Forced solutions

If you insist on helping someone that does not want to be helped, you are only prioritising the desires of your ego above the sanctity of another human.

Stop forcing your solutions on others. All solutions carry within them, new problems. The one who must apply your solution, must also bear the weight of its associated problems (known or unknown).

Understanding this will help you show more empathy.

Your way might be the shorter way, yet those you are trying to help might not want to arrive early, for reasons unique to them. And that is fine.

Karma

At a point, you have to learn from what your own circumstances are teaching you. Not what is prescribed by others.

I have always believed that is what karma is about.

A looped opportunity to learn from our circumstances, before we can be free.

Advertising spend

Sometimes, individuals, companies and countries use paid adverts on media channels, as an investment tool, to manage future crisis.

If I have been paying you for adverts, surely you will check with me before publishing something defamatory, and then I will offer the news that I want the world to hear. That news I offer becomes the consistent message across platforms and the alternative story is drowned.

Not all the time, but sometimes, individuals, companies and countries play the long game. My opinion about the game apart, they play the long game.

What you see as advertising spend is sometimes an integrity defense.

Not all

Mark 12:28-34
And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the first of all?” Jesus answered, “The first is, `Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that he is one, and there is no other but he; and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared to ask him any question.

Homily:

Not all who seek want to find. Most already own what they seek. They ask to strengthen already held beliefs.
