Electoral Bonds and the Make-Believe Idealist World
Electoral Bonds were brought in for reforming political funding. It wasn't perfect, but the judiciary brought it down for being less than perfect. What is going on?
The courage to be vulnerable in the face of a world, where everyone notices vulnerability in others first and display it the last, is not easy to come by. But for those, who choose to be vulnerable and yet be self-compassionate in face of the world’s onslaught, there is real love that awaits.
Above all, vulnerability is the key to receptivity. The world is a mess not because people cannot give. But, because people don’t know how to RECEIVE. Receptivity stems from vulnerability of one’s self and being comfortable about it.
Love cannot co-exist with high walls of false bravado. It may be fine to deal with the “tough” world, but for relationships its a deal breaker. But for relationship of love to work the best; BOTH the participants need to be comfortable with their own and other’s vulnerability – and thus, live a life of heightened receptivity!
Here is a very interesting TED talk by Brené Brown who studies studies vulnerability, courage, authenticity, and shame.
