The Blessed Life

I receive this beautiful message and it makes me thinking.  The message reads 'Be certain that you do not die without having done something wonderful for humanity - by Maya Angelou (an American poet)'. Have I contributed anything meaningful to humanity?  Have I done enough charity works to build a sustainable future for humanity?  Whom do I live for, other than for my own survival? As I ponder, it reminds me of another message.  There's a line, 'ants are busy too', that strikes me.  Ants are busy insects and each one of them cares enough for their colonies.  They do many busy jobs that are important else the colony might die without combined efforts.  It is in togetherness that determines for the colony to survive. Is my life too busy or that I care less about the world around me?  What can I do to the people whom I can be useful to?  Don't I want to make my world, the worlds of my loved ones and others a happier place to live together?

Rumi says 'We are born of love' and he adds 'Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love'.  I have to remember that I am born of love and that is what I am.  There is a seed of love inside me from the day I was born.   I must not turn love into something negative and abuse it.  Nor should I do something that is not love.  When I do not honour the seed of love inside of me, I am shunning away from making myself a human.

 As a human, understanding others opens up the possibility of seeing and understanding situations from different perspectives.  Understanding is a behaviour that makes people human.  When there is sympathetic awareness, there shall be freedom from doubts and suspicions. When something is meaningfully understood, it creates better relationship, better socialization.  It builds trust and improves bonding between individuals.  With understanding, there is acceptance that all humans are created equal, at a deeper level. Understanding is an act of love.  It is the first step to acceptance.  It is a feeling so important that it adds value to life.  It softens the heart.  It fuels the emotional and intellectual growth. Understanding others means I need to experience their emotions. I need to have lots of empathy.  I have to put myself in their shoes and walk their walks.  I must remind myself not to judge as I do not know their full stories.  I have to show them that I care, that they are sig
