HURT AND WRONGED? "I AM GOOD."

This story is identical to the Ayurvedic principle of Ahimsa:  cultivating a harmonious life, and causing no harm. For parents who are trying to help their children get along, or anyone who has recently felt hurt or
wronged, pay attention to this story of reverence towards those who have hurt us, then please share your thoughts below. (Found on The Synthesis Center website, which link I found on my friend Kelly Jensen's facebook. Thank you Kelly.)

There is an African tribe that does the most beautiful thing. When someone does something hurtful and wrong, they take the person to the center of town, and the entire tribe comes and surrounds him. For two days they’ll tell the man every good thing he has ever done.

The tribe believes that every human being comes into the world as GOOD, each of us desiring safety, love, peace, happiness.

But sometimes in the pursuit of those things people make mistakes. The community sees misdeeds as a cry for help.

They band together for the sake of their fellow man to hold him up, to reconnect him with his true Nature, to remind him who he really is, until he fully remembers the truth from which he'd temporarily been disconnected: "I AM GOOD". +Gwendolyn Soper +Shannon Soper +Caroline Kane +Sadie Parker +natalie soper +Margaret Maurice
