We all make mistakes don't we? Have a hard time sometimes seeing others points of view? Or even have problems seeing other points of view too much? Life can be confusing sometimes.
As I move through my life I have more and more realized that we are all connected whether we want to be or not. I am connected to some more than others, through culture and ideas and whatnot, but connected with everyone and everything here on God's green earth in one way or another. That is why it hurts me to see people or nature or other things in pain. I feel for many different groups of people in this world, like hard working, good natured Iraqis just as I feel for many other groups of people and things.
I have a hard time with this sometimes, keeping these cares straight- making sure to care for myself too. It is easy to get lost in the troubles of the world.
The greatest people have though, haven't they? Abe Lincoln, mistakes (even failures) made throughout his life, was finally able to lead our people out of the dark shadow of slavery and all that entailed. Ghandi devoted his life to many people- most of whom he probably never met, but I have to guess he felt like he knew them all. Mother Theresa, what more could be said about this saint? There are not enough words. MLK, JFK, RFK, Jesus, Confusious.... the list is long of great, strong, failable people who made their mark in history.
I leave that idea with you, now. Have a great evening- hug a tree.
