As humans, there are so many things we complain about. There are so many things we are “concerned” about.
I want to make it clear that I do not believe that humanity is doomed. I do believe many of us are confused, misguided, and misinformed. Now beyond that…passing around, or attempting to assign blame is useless. Why collect these metrics and for what or who’s Rolodex?
Let me get more direct. When you “complain” or are “concerned”… in regards to what another individual is going through, or what they may be doing that is detrimental to their existence…are you willing to talk with them about it? Are you ready to help them or inform and hold them accountable in the areas that they lack guidance or understanding in?
Before you immediately give me a response…I am not suggesting that you should feel like the moral and order police. I am suggesting, if that is the role you want to take…you should understand a big component that may save you from slipping into hypocrisy.
We are all hypocrites in one way or another but we should at least be aware of those areas and be honest about them. Being honest with yourself should be both the priority and the goal.
To my point…
These individuals that are outside of your community and immediate family that you “complain about”, or claim you are “concerned ” about, if you can not impact their life in a way that it changes them for the better…or at least send them a prayer….are they really of your concern?
We have to stop holding things and people hostage to pointless emotions. We need to let go when we know we aren’t willing to do anything about it.
Miscellaneous emotions can cause emotional clutter that is not useful to anyone involved. The truth is, if you transform your viewpoints as acts of daily service in some way…that is more than half the battle. Also, you cannot require things from others you are not willing to do yourself.
Too many of us want perfection from life and situations that can only offer imperfection, lessons, understanding, and growth.
Humanity should be about sharing love, showing compassion, and doing whatever we can at our capacity to transfer love, positive energy, and emotions. Judgement should be cast to the wayside. We should work toward leaving good impressions through various good deeds daily so they spread and become the norm.
I will give you an easy to do example, simply smiling at others when you are in public is kind act toward the betterment of humanity.
In short, we aren’t doomed, nor are people innately evil. However, many of us humans can be messy, broken, and ego driven. Sometimes we just need a reminder regarding what this is all about.
Too many love to feed the superiority complex. When we care and want different… no matter what we are concerned about or want different for or from…our actions will reflect our true desires and intent.
Help, inform, assist or be quiet. Let it go and consider the real issue.
