Compassion in Politics meeting

Marianne Williamson

What an amazing meeting and experience. Marianne has impressed me and you know why? While we were waiting to go into the meeting room she arrived and immediately engaged with us all, wishing to learn about us. A Sign in my books of a good politician that reaches out to the people. cares and listens to them. You cannot put policies together without understanding the citizens needs and how those policies will affect them. Policies need to be made to enhance citizens lives, facilitate their voices heard and their creativity and ideas expressed for the benefit of whole society, No one should feel undervalued and disrespected, But heard and valued and helped when in need of help. Compassion can only flow if there is egolessness. selflessness and empathy for others and understanding of others. 

There is no doubt a need for self care and compassion to keep mind body and spirit balanced. This is needed in order to give to others your time and energy in wellness and harmony. A far cry from greedy selfishness that devours self and oppresses others. As the speakers and audience came together in this parliament meeting room it was a working example of how we need to come together to problem solve all the issues we are facing globally. My additional note and touched upon we sure need to mature out of war tantrums and its destruction for the sake of our planet home and our continued existence and prevent our extinction!

We also saw how we are a peoples parliament able to meet up like we did in Parliament offices. Parliament is not an exclusive club it is a place for peoples voices to be heard and share with those elected to augment our voices in the chamber... and from this design policies and acts of parliament for the betterment of peoples lives and society..... not cause pain.
