"It is until we view the world as our equal that we become one with the world."-@JackieSCraig
The root of all good/evil is manifested within our own thoughts. As Isaac Newton proved through theory in 1676, "An object that is at rest will stay at rest unless an external force acts upon it. An object that is in motion will not change its velocity unless an external force acts upon it."
Although this could merely be viewed as a scientific finding applied to science, we can apply this to our every day ideologies in which we choose to live by. In order to create change or live a positive life we must make moves in order to see them implemented, an"external force". We all have something to offer to one another, we all have stories to tell and we all come with various perspectives. It is within these perspectives that we create a well diversified and well rounded ability to create change and understand one another. We often times mistaken our wisdom for arogance in form of boasting instead of sharing. It is until we view the world as our equal that we become one with the world. In addition, as much as it is important to conform and understand it is as important to make moves when necessary when change is needed. The balance of growing and learning is endless, and this is life; the way we choose to disperse importance not only on perspectives but on what we choose to see/feel at all.
Like a pendulum, what it is that is required sometimes needs additional work. The world around us changes, and the fight for human rights and need for awareness will remain continuous. Living in a world with needed peace does not mean that we can not make efforts to create it. Sometimes we need to step back away from the disarray and find reason, and most often times than not it is within compassion and awareness that it is found. By being one with the world, means that we understand that we have similarities, and we accept that we are human with the same needs and desires no matter how different on a day-to-day that we are.
My new task of 2014: that every new person that I meet, I want to make smile and find at least one similarity. Too many times I leave a conversation not having really learned much more than I walked in knowing, and the only person losing is myself, because it is within every conversation that I've had in my travels that I have learned the importance of interpersonal communication and the similarities the world has, but the miscommunications by perspectives; which are not wrong, just different...
Let's lead by example, and be a joy to those who we come in contact with, because tomorrow is never a promise and never should we reflect back wondering what we could have learned if we would have listened more and spoke less.
