       One cannot show goodwill toward another if they are of ill-will toward themselves. You cannot wish someone well if you aren’t even focused on them, but focused on yourself instead. What are some specific ways in which the Royal Law is seen in our Universe? It is when a grade-school teacher, upon seeing her class is particularly tired that day, doesn’t drive them hard but rather makes that class easier. It is for the parent who stays up all night putting together that toy so that it will be all assembled and ready to go on Christmas morning. It is for the husband who decides he will watch the kids today while they are out of school instead of leaving the primary responsibility on his wife. It is keeping that appointment Sunday afternoon to see your grandparents even when it has now become inconvenient to do so. This is the type of love we are talking about. A beautiful thing is, is that the Law of Liberty allows us to fulfill the Royal Law—how we see it—and how we desire. Certainly, at times people tell us of a specific need. We may work to fulfill that need for them.
