I've read that in the life reviews, it's we who judge ourselves. Because no one is harder on us, and I certainly can believe that. It seems we get to experience everything from everyone else's perspective, feel their emotion and how our actions impacted them. Karma is a cycle that teaches us how to love. We are not being punished, just experiencing the contrast to understand and choose the higher path.
I've also understood that it's the smaller things in life that we can do for each other that mean more than anything. Someone who has money and makes a donation, how hard is it for them to do that? But to consistently, day after day, reach out to each other, offer our time, our hands and hearts, that's what means the most.
Thanks for sharing DLP, I don't know where I'm from, I'm guessing I'm from everywhere and everywhen!
