We always know there are are some who seem to care about their fellow man. Perhaps they were taught, or maybe they just have good spirits… but if an emergency should arise, how many of us would be on hand to help? A great many, or perhaps just a few? Would it matter if we missed an important appointment to help? Would it make a difference if we weren’t occupied at all? Who knows? Do we ourselves even know?
There is a connection between everything that lives....
I frankly believe that most of us would rush to help in some way, especially if we have lived long enough to know how empowering it feels to be on hand for another person’s need, maybe even for a stranger. I also personally believe that there is a connection between everything that lives, and sometimes a dire circumstance somehow awakens that, even among people who are total strangers!
The live we carry within us is a true gift...
As spiritual beings…and that is what I think we are… we are either adding to the hatred and divisiveness in the world today, or we are recognizing and building on our shared Oneness, our shared Holiness , if you will. If we but knew that the life we carry within us is a true gift, I think we would make haste to care about, not only family and loved ones, but perhaps the person in a difficult situation that we don’t even know. Perhaps the question is not whether or not we care, but how may we do so when the need arises!
