RE: Love Thy Neighbor and the Meaning of Life

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Feelings of empathy should be felt by everyone, but yet there are so many who have so little respect for life that they can reason away the atrocities they inflict.

I believe that the number of good and decent people far outnumber the bad, but yet our voices are seldom heard. Governments do what they do with little respect for what the populous would have. Where have the moral leaders of nations gone. Have they also been corrupted by the riches that persuade so many to do the unthinkable.

It is truly in giving that we receive. For those of us who are in the situation to give, be it prayer, money, our time, or necessary items that we take for granted, let us not turn a blind eye to those less fortunate.

We will all be judged by our actions and with all that is going of in this world we all need to do what we can. Inaction and turning a blind eye is what perpetuates hatred and division among us humans.

where does it hurt? everywhere, everywhere, everywhere

So true and so very sad!

If only more people saw that. Many just see giving as taking away from them. Seriously? I can honestly say that these are not giving from the heart. Do you ever look at it as taking away from your own pile of gold? Me neither. I bask in the glow of how good it feels to help out if only a tiny bit.

There are a lot of decent people but, I feel like some of them are being silenced by corrupt leaders or perhaps in retaliation for their views. Sadly, not everyone who believes in the right thing can do the right thing. Especially when you have family and you are protecting them.

I am sad to think that if I unexpectedly died tomorrow that this is the world I would leave my children.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving always well said words. Have a great day!

Giving what you can should come naturally. If one is able to give, whatever the amount, means that YOU are in a pretty good place. Things can turn on a dime and one day we all may be in a situation where a little charity may go a long way in making our life a little better.

There's a band called the Alan Parsons Project and the song "Can't Take it With You" should be something we all should realize. Heck, even King Tutankhamun couldn't do that even though he tried, having his riches entombed with him.

Thank you for the LUV!
