(#5806) If only we were able to be nice to each other every day of the year

      The concept of Christmas is not lost on me. I was once a child who was fully in wonderment over the what I will call the pageantry of the Christmas season. It shaped me in ways that are innumerable. Yet the buildup to the one day arrival was short and not always primarily aimed at the best of who we are as a species. It does however carry a significance. Beyond the belief system attributes there are behavioral characteristics I find important. The lessons of being understanding not only in the thankfulness of our lives but the sharing as well. The month of December is full of moments that are highlighted to promote the buildup to the moment our most unselfish selves.
     That is a worthy time for all who are able to participate. Yet the question has long been with me why we only find one month a year at most to show our compassion and love with such commitment? It is my contention that every day of the year should be lived as if it were Christmas day. I say this because we humans are the ones who are our own masters. We can and should have higher priorities than to burden ourselves with obstacles that to me are inferior. I am no novice about how our world works presently which is why I am writing about this subject. What I find so incomprehensible is that the simple, and I actually mean simple, thought that together we are mighty is not our most foremost principle. Our species is easily a magnificent one yet we seem to shun that proof in order to be lesser.
     Of all the motives that can be attributed to our species being lesser, the ones of fear and greed seem to have the greatest utility. Today is supposed to be about peace on Earth and goodwill to all people. Yet there are those who do not want that but instead they want chaos and death. Logically there should not be any fighting on our planet. Instead there should be acceptance and agreement. A world order that does not dishonor nor disrespect. I am no brilliant mind who has an answer for all but I am smart enough to know that chaos and death is not the answer to our problems. For one day a year many get to forget the problems around us and for them that is a luxury as many others can only dream of such.
