I believe that active self-awareness and responsive empathy are the keys to creating a world where we all can learn, grow and thrive. We each can spend more time practicing these attributes and encouraging others to do the same, starting with those who we touch and who touch us every day.
Take good care, of yourself, others and the planet.

The Mind , Body, and Spirit are the three parts that can’t be seperated or ignored. The Spiritual aspect is the one most likely to fall into disrepair due to neglect and that neglect can be allowed to become more and more pronounced if it is helped along with a mental defense that seems to have outlived it’s purpose called “Denile” This all a wordy way of saying the same thing alcoholic/Drug addicts commonly suffer from. The problem is that addict/alcoholics know they have a soul sickness and become willing to address it. Normal people generally don’t suffer the ugliness and fairly swift consequences that land in these peoples lives on a regular basis. The ability to disregard these becomes intolerable as well as possibley “Life Threatening” so it becomes obvious to them. What I’m worried about is the portion of the population that only suffer an ocassional pang of a mildly guilty conscience, or none at all. How could the rest of society be deferred to a practical solution when it is evident to me that they are void of the mind set it takes because the consequenses are nowhere near as direct as those brought on by drug and alcohol abuse. What now?

I would only add that each person must make this decision for themselves, and in congruence with their own values, thoughts, feelings and intentions.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
