Last night in my dreams, that concept took me to many places in the world where people are up against a wall. They, too are hoping for change that will improve their desperate state of affairs. Unfortunately, what many of us do not realize is that when any people suffer, we all suffer. If we really understood this, then there would be less cruelty toward others and more outstretched hands.
It does not matter whether the person’s culture is one of the many in the United States or whether we are a voice in Liberation Square, Egypt. It matters not whether we suffer in Libya, Nairobi, Thailand, or North Korea. People are people and we are the change that can help all of our brothers and sisters.
If you listen to some financial analysts, things are about to come tumbling down. Survivalists warn you to stock up and grow your own garden. While growing one’s own garden is certainly a good thing to do, something even more significant is needed. Take a chance. Reach out to one other person today, or a thousand. Let them know that they matter. Remember the old movie “Pay it forward.” Create the change that is needed in this world. Blessings...
