Making Connections

Can we acknowledge that…
--We all come from the same source?
--Our source gives us life, form, and purpose?
--Our source is perfection?
-- We are imperfection?
-- We are accountable to our source?

If we can, then our obligations are the same…
--To live
--To love
--To understand
--To build
--To help
--To prosper
--To cooperate
--To discover
--To respect

To repair our differences
and to achieve these ends we must…
--Get past our errors
--Find solutions to issues
--Forgive ourselves
--Forgive each other
--Move on

And if we do, can we not expect…
--Peace?
--Progress?
--Understanding?
--A better life for all?
--Better connections to each other?
--A better connection to our source?

I'm just asking...

You have great understanding. It shows in your words. Only if we all go by these words the world would be a better place for everyone.

Immensely powerful wording, Edward.

Power of questioning is like practicing spirituality
or/and mindfulness meditation; puts things in perspective,
clarifies and deepens the invisible threads that tie
us all...
The trouble is...Humans cannot be tied before they're
connected...and when we eventually are...acting
compassionately and with respect to others...comes
naturally...
But there're principles to follow...principles that play
vital role in "such game".
Our action...causes stir-reaction...and comes back (always)
as an effect.
Sadly...too...one cannot be connected with the World
(outside One-self)...while being disconnected/rejected/
undervalued...by inner-Self...therefore...it isn't possible
for One...to draw the rich and generous sustenance from
the Out-side World.
And because we live in "contemporary reality"...there is
the privilege of having...the "automatic connection" to
someone else's life, values, dignity, intellect and everything
else...once hit the "log on" bottom...to the Web...in Cyberspace
of community...like any other Community in our World...
Sadly...it's also...a playground of "few steam-rollers"...that without being "connected" or/and having proper understanding...Why others are there?...Harm...How tiresome!
Thank you Edward for bringing out the...Eyes front! command
to the place that needed it ...most...Community of writers...
Many Blessings!

Wonderful questions that we seem not being able to answer. Some people would say that it is the devil in us that holds us back. I would say that we can change and we can be better if we follow your simple prescription for success.

Tomorrow our new government with absolute majority first time in thirt years is gonna do a lot of hue and cry and show at the swearing in, wish each of them could do a promise with the aforesaid list...It seems like somebody from there asked you to write it out for he or her,,, who knows of your mighty connections. Hail India Hail America .Hail the world. It seems the guys at the centre wish to make India the superpower by 2047... Hundred years of Independence!

Perfect. It says it all. If we could just learn to love ourselves, I think it'll be much easier to love and accept anyone else unconditionally, thereby bringing us closer to our maker.

Loved it.
