Did you know every
creature on our planet is made from the same stuff?
Specifically, the same stuff as the stars? I find this a
fascinating idea...that if we could just remember that
we all are here because we all evolved from the material
that formed our universe and everything in it...well,
then the concept that we are all TRULY ONE might have
impact on how we treat our fellow man, our fellow
creatures that share our planet and the world itself.
The implications of this
fact are astounding, if your mind is open enough to
grasp it. If life is indeed a gift, then we must also
concede that life is sacred to ALL and not just to us
humans who are rapidly taking up space on the planet.
To be kind, to be
respectful of other lives, no matter how small we
believe them to be, would be so very important if we are
to expect and deserve the same kindness and respect in
return.
Some days I see
evidence of the goodness in our natures and am hopeful
that we may, as a species, "get there" some day.
But my nights, too
often are filled with images of the evil that we do and
I despair. How can we allow so much pain and hate and
suffering in our own world go on without rising up to
fight it, to correct the wrong?
If you, too, long for
a better place in which to live, then be the small still
voice that makes a big noise for good.
Isn't our planet worth
it? Aren't WE worth it? |
