We are all the same. We are living things that are made up
of the same elements: carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. We rely on other living things
so we can live. We breathe in oxygen produced by plants and trees, which take
in our carbon dioxide and pollution to make the air cleaner. All our species
are interlinked with each other and that should compel us to treat other living
things as we would like to be treated. I am connected to the universe in that I
participate in protecting this precious balance between us.
Our world is grand and has blessed us with
everything we need to be a self sustaining planet and species. But man has
historically upset this balance over and over again. Our ambition caused us to
collapse as a society and outstrip our natural resources; we forgot to give
back to the universe. Now we face another failed empire of different realities,
where some starve while others waste food and neglect the true value of things.
So where do I fit in this mess?
The world provides to me and I reciprocally give
back to it by helping restore the overall balance. Giving back to society so
that we cannot forget the simple, yet grand gifts that Mother Nature has
provided us, helps me stay grounded and focused on the more important things in
life. Besides recycling and refraining from throwing away household batteries
in the trash, I focus on inspiring, motivating and helping people. This causes
a butterfly effect and in turn impacts those that come in contact with us. We
are raised in a culture where we must thrive financially to survive where we
live. Rather than accepting and respecting what the universe has created for
us, we selfishly take and damage. So when people see the good in others, they
continue on a journey of respect for one another and the things that surround
us.
