People these days

Every day people read the newspaper or watch the news. They fill their minds with the latest dishonour of someones life. The latest cataclysmic event in the world where devastation and despair are at their greatest.  As they travel through traffic on their way to work, they listen to the same bad news on the radio.
During their lunch break they discuss the world news with their coworkers. When the day is done and they are home, they try to unwind in front of the TV. This is once again where they hear the news of the day in full detail.

No wonder everyone comes to the conclusion that Our Earth is going down the drain.
No wonder we are becoming more and more miserable in life.
No wonder we are becoming more ill as the days go by.
No wonder we are not journeying along our spiritual path as we should be.

We are doing this to ourselves and our beautiful earth.
Whinging about the plight of our world is pointless as whining will not repair the afflictions we now bear upon ourselves and our world. Many have become apathetic in their familiar way of life. People no longer strive for a better world, they work for their own comfort.

When did we start believing that we are better than our neighbour.
 At what point did we lose the respect for all that exist in this life.
When did we lose our own self respect.

We should be building up our relationships with our neighbours and with ourselves.
Our countries and our beloved Earth will not become great because of politicians. They will become great because we will make them great. Everyone of us has a purpose if we are only willing to open ourselves up to all that we can be.
