We cannot and should not even try to live in a vacuum. We cannot sustain ourselves at the elementary level of life without some human connections and relationships. We need each other and that should be indisputable. That conclusion should then trigger a thought about how we would like to see each other exist. What kind of human being are we? Do we see a happy world that gives more than it takes? Or do we see a brutish world where life has to be a conquest over one another. Most of us live somewhere in between and that is our current dilemma. The tension between these two visions is the current struggle we are involved in. For me, there is no doubt as to which vision for our society we should be practicing. I have always been a big fan of happiness and having other happy people to share that happiness with is my kind of reality. I know the feelings of negativity and they hurt my soul. When I see the poverty and oppression of souls it strains my heart in a real and powerfully depressing way. Life should not have such circumstances and situations when it is within our power, as able human beings, to work at and achieve foundational processes for awareness and opportunity. For those of us who know what life should be like, we have a duty to our own principles and to those who need our advocacy. We have to push ourselves to make a difference and call out our vision when it is being thwarted or denied. Our people are in need of basic understandings and creating the pleasant opportunities for them to achieve their own significance should be part of our hope for happiness for all.
