Peace and Rich's blessings. I'm Michael B. Beckwith.

Host of Take Back Your Mind. As you know, every week,

I have the privilege of doing a life question of the week. Today, I have a question from Darren.

Darren is hailing from Chicago, Illinois. He writes, The state of the world is now taking toll on my spirit.

It seems there's so much war and an imbalance of equality, and it angers me.

I find myself allowing depression to set in and I feel hatred building up towards people

who seemingly want to inflict harm on others.

I know this isn't the way, but when I try to choose the way of love,

I feel like I'm ignoring the issues or I'm choosing not to care.

How could I learn to remain passionate about humanitarian issues

without becoming inundated by this plight?

Darren, you're asking a question that millions of people are probably asking at this precise moment,

so I thank you for asking it.

When you say, how can I learn to remain passionate about humanitarian issues without becoming inundated by this plight,

you're going to rewrite that and you're going to say,

I am willing to remain passionate about humanitarian issues without becoming inundated by this plight.

You're going to say that to yourself.

So you become open to

wisdom and guidance as to how to do it. Now you talked about trying to choosing the way of love.

Here's how this operates. You are an eternal being and you've taken a human incarnation.

So most of you is in the realm of the invisible, in the eternal, incorruptible, painless existence.

And then you've incarnated into time and space where there is a plethora of issues that humanity is facing.
