The Order of the Lily and the Eagle
OLE Aphorisms and Sayings
We can agree that love is manifested as an emotion.
As everything comes from somewhere, where does love come from?
Judgement is not the same as being judgemental.
We are judgemental when we gossip about other people, but we
seldom apply such judgement to ourselves.
On the contrary, we tend to justify our thoughts, feelings and
actions rather than seeing if our actions are benefical or kind
to us or others.
Try it and see what the result is. In other words, choose your own experiences.
If we agree that we cannot find two things that are identical, that everything
is disimilar, can we agree that this is a law of Nature?
If it is True, how will we change how we interact with other people
and our environment?
Wisdom not guided and illuminated by Love, can be both
cruel and severe.
Love without Wisdom can be selfish and
unjust.
So, we must find the balance between Love and Wisdom.
We often say that we had a bad experience, but is this true?
As we can and should be able to learn a lesson from any experience, then
in the end, it is something which is helpful and is, ultimately, a good
experience.
