When love springs forth from a sense of belongingness then the actions and qualities do not over shadow the love.
Why the sense of belongingness is not there in many people is due to stress. Not that they are bad people, they are also good people but they don’t have the knowledge, they are stressed out, they have misunderstood many things.
Unless and until we bring a wave of spiritual awakening and sense of belongingness, corruption will not go down
There are different kinds of strength. Knowledge is a strength. Love is a strength. Compassion and a sense of belongingness is also a strength. Forgiveness is a strength. Strength does not only mean having a lot of money. All the virtues and positive qualities within you are your strengths.
Do not recognize that others have a big ego. Your recognition gives power to the ego. So do not recognize it. Just be natural. The antidote for ego is naturalness and a sense of belongingness, having a sense of oneness with others.
