We are all aware of the tragedies that are occurring all
around the world, but are we able to see the hurts and pains that are caused in
our own lives, as people continue to tread on the toes of those close to them?
Too often we are too busy following our own thoughts and
actions of what we want that we don’t see the effects that our words have on the
emotions of another.
A son sometimes finds it too easy to blame his mother for
his mistakes, when she is brought to tears by an unguarded and often unprovoked
criticism.
Often a teenage daughter tells her caring parents that they
don’t understand about being young when they try to protect her from the
dangers that lurk out in a hostile world.
Parents are sometimes too hash on their children as they
grow up and, instead of giving them the love and teaching of family life for
the future, they rely on others at school to do their job for them.
In the work place too are unbalanced relationships, where
often those in positions of power and responsibility take advantage of the
younger and more vulnerable staff in their charge.
Sadly this list can continue for a long time, but it serves
to point out that we often don’t think before we open our mouths and, even inadvertently,
we bring pain to others that they do not need.
We all have a responsibility to treat our neighbours, which
includes our family, the way that we would expect us to be treated by them.
This is surely one of the basic and simple rules of life
and living in the right way, so that we cannot be held responsible for causing unwarranted
hurt to those who need our understanding and gratitude for simply being there
for us.
If we all help each other and share harmony and peace with
understanding and tolerance, there would be less negativity in this world.
There is far too much competition driven by the greedy ego
and too many people act the way they do, just because they can. Many think that they get away with it time
and time again and thus become comfortable with this way of life.
Few stop to realise that there is a Higher Intelligence,
who sees all things and each and every person will have the opportunity to
explain their mistakes and misdemeanours, as well as feel the pain that they
caused before they can move on with their own progression.
If we all live in the knowledge that we get away with
nothing, but attract difficulties to ourselves by causing hurt and pain to
others.
When we live in the right way, as was taught all those
years ago in Galilee, we are rewarded with gifts and higher abilities to help the
Greater Good by serving humanity and the Creator Father who gave us all life
through his unconditional live.
