Beyond the illusion

(Continuation of the previous post)

So often I come across people who challenge the stereotypes of their groups' colour, religion, country, etc by being different from what is spoken about their groups. And I laugh at my stupidity....I laugh at my ignorance. Then? I enjoy the person beyond my prejudices.

It's tough and it takes courage, to see people as they are...not how we want to think they are.

Evil isn't dark and good isn't white.
Evil can be beautiful...tempting...fair skinned....bright. But evil hurts. It takes more than what is offered to it. It forces...it demands...it destroys.

Good can be ugly...scary...dark...repulsive. But good restores. It heals. It's grateful. It gives. It loves...it comforts....it accepts.

It's the illusion set before us, to go by what we see.
Yes, our sight does give us clues to the unseen. But most of reality still remains unseen....unknown.
For the good doesn't boast and evil likes to spread rumours.

I feel obliged to say that inner beauty is hidden. It's not. Not always, at least.

Beauty oozes out, no matter how much you try to keep it hidden.
What is this beauty I speak about so fondly?
Beauty is kindness. And kindness knows no limits.
Kindness doesn't stage a good act like a performance. It just looks for ways to help the other.
It sees beyond the illusions that people mask themselves into. It looks into the person and touches their heart...no matter how bad their works are.

Kindness purifies the soul. And there's a little of it in everyone of us...in equal measure. Everyone has the choice to listen to the voice of kindness... people of all races, colours, occupations, age, gender...there's kindness in you.
Do you want to believe in the voice of truth? Or do you want to believe the lie of the illusion around you?
