RADIATE LOVE ❤️


i still remember clearly some years ago as i was going through a gate of a company this song out of nowhere began playing in my mind, i even began singing along.

It was reminding me that within my own life it was certainly getting better, much better not that i went to the level of beating any woman or person but i had my issues to deal with, to overcome, and i was overcoming them, it was getting better, getting better all the time.

“It is a diary form of writing. All that ‘I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved’ was me. I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically… any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn’t express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women. That is why I am always on about peace, you see. It is the most violent people who go for love and peace. Everything’s the opposite. But I sincerely believe in love and peace. I am a violent man who has learned not to be violent and regrets his violence. I will have to be a lot older before I can face in public how I treated women as a youngster.”

It is about going through the excruciating dark night of the soul, to go inside and shine some light on the darkness that pervades your very being, to come to terms with it, understand it, seek forgiveness and forgive those who slighted you.

Coming out the other end with gratitude, love and peace, living from the heart, discovering dharma.

It is i can assure you a truly magical place to be, well worth all the pain and suffering to finally arrive home to the heart for which i am eternally grateful.

“Getting Better” is a song written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon. It was recorded by The Beatles for the 1967 album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Lyrics

It’s getting better all the time

I used to get mad at my school (Now, I can’t complain)
The teachers who taught me weren’t cool (Now, I can’t complain)
You’re holding me down (Ah-ah), turning me ’round (Ah-oh)
Filling me up with your rules (Fool, you fool)

I’ve got to admit it’s getting better (Better)
A little better all the time (It can’t get no worse)
I have to admit it’s getting better (Better)
It’s getting better since you’ve been mine

Me used to be angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word, I finally heard
(I’m) You’re doing the best that I can

I’ve got to admit it’s getting better (Better)
A little better all the time (It can’t get no worse)
I have to admit it’s getting better (Better)
It’s getting better since you’ve been mine
Getting so much better all the time

It’s getting better all the time
(Better, better, better)
It’s getting better all the time
(Better, better, better)

I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man, I was mean but I’m changing my scene
And I’m doing the best that I can (Fool, you fool)

I admit it’s getting better (Better)
A little better all the time (It can’t get no worse)
Yes, I admit it’s getting better (Better)
It’s getting better since you’ve been mine
Getting so much better all the time

It’s getting better all the time
(Better, better, better)
It’s getting better all the time
(Better, better, better)

Getting so much better all the time
