Book review: Worthy of Love by Karen Casey |
Found this a very uplifting book and highly recommend to anyone seeking
a daily dose of inner peace wisdom.
A sample quote from book:
"If we look at the world through suspicious or angry eyes, we'll find a
world that mirrors our expectations -- a world where tension will
mount, arguments will abound, strife will be present where none need
be. However, our experiences in some manner bless us, and we'll
recognize that if we look upon them with gratitude. Everything in our
path is meant for our good and we'll see the good when our hearts act
as the eyes for our minds.
When we see with our hearts, our responses to the turmoil around us,
the fighting children, the traffic snarls, the angry lovers, will be
soft acceptance. When our hearts guide the action we can accept those
things we cannot change, and change those we can. And the heart, as the
seat of all wisdom, will always know the difference."

Letting one's emotions, rather than one's intellect, dictate one's
responses to almost anything is more likely than not a direct route to
disaster for anyone over the age of five.

First up, the human heart sees nothing. It's a blood pump.
Second, tell all of this to the family of Pat Tillman and the others that
have lost husbands, sisters, brothers, wives and children to the illegal
war in Iraq. Tell it to the widows and families that lost loved ones on
9/11. Go tell it to the tortured people of Dafur and other mindless hot
spots of human suffering in this world. Go tell it to every mother that
has lost a child to starvation in the African desert. Go spew this crap
to every parent in a child's terminal ward, crying over the lost life of
a three year old that never got the chance to live.
Your pompous, arrogant blather means nothing here. Bumpkin's little book
is a child's fairy tale and not indicative of the real world.
Grow up and deal with life you ignorant sod.
