Yes, this is it

The news is so sad. The world is so broken. In our daily lives is so much discontent. There is joy in there somewhere. There is real love, buried in the rubble of ... whatever it is we're doing. We do have hope of better living.

If you want to solve a problem, do you attend to the symptoms? Where there is sadness, plant love. Where there is brokenness, bring repair. Where there is discontent, make contentedness. Yes, that seems to work, but only temporarily. Soon sadness increases and you pour on more love; brokenness resumes and you bring more reapir; discontent returns and you attempt to create more contentedness.

To really solve a problem of course, we must attend to the cause. We must transform the heart. Continually in every moment. A single moment without the heart gives foothold to sadness, brokenness, discontent. Transformation, like metamorphosis is not a one time thing. It is a cycle of life that continues to give new life.
