"We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot remain looking inwards at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet..." ---- (Stephen Hawking)

Allow me some thoughts on this....
.
We are so often told that life is all about us. And that is what media, business, schools, entertainment etc is doing to us. Yes but to a certain point. Then we must learn to shed off the - 'I' 'ME' 'MY' 'MINE' - of living. The lessons become very difficult now because habits die hard.
.
Lest we forget, our job on this planet is no longer to live for ourselves alone. We live for others too if we want a better world and planet. We stand connected like it or not. What we each do, good or bad, will definitely affect the next guy or people down the line and beyond ... as it also will affect our environment.. our world.
.
So it behooves us to better our selves to enable us to serve others and the world with the best of who we are and what we have. If we can do it in a grander scale so much better for the world... but the little that we do in our everyday lives and even if it's for just one person.... will suffice as long as the noble intent is there. Small is big when the motive is for the better good or for the greater number of people you can reach.
.
God himself says..... to 'love one another'. Am I my brother's keeper? Yes! Because we were not created to live solitary lives, by Divine design. We need each other. No man is sufficient to himself. Even Mother Nature needs our human care and nurturing. That is how God created the world each dependent on the other .... to co-exist in peace and harmony .... being blessed and blessing one another with blessings received. Let us remember who we are and our Divine purpose.
.
God bless you!!

I agree Ms.Ellen and it has always been my desire of touching lives one at a time even on my most simple ways. With us helping each other and giving our love generously will make this world a better place to live in. Thank you for your comment on my site and yup I am learning more to love myself now, thinking positively on every trial that comes. Visiting you again Ms.Ellen..hugs :)
ReplyDeleteA fine quote by Stephen Hawking.I have read somewhere that we do not own the planet and that we have borrowed it from our children.That would mean ,we would give the planet in the same condition we received it if not better.Selfishness as a person ,community or country in disregard to others would destroy the earth.A nice message very well explained by you.
