The world could truly be “at peace” if Freedom was an active attribute of every persons physical existence and mental disposition. The “free to be me” concept has yet to be accepted on a global scale due to political, religious and cultural paradigms that prohibit or discourage personal freedoms on many levels. When we are free to live a dignified human existence, we have little need of denying that same dignified life to any other person. …..we are peace-full.
The paragraph above may seem somewhat political, but the intention is to bring attention to the relationship between seeing / being and how that creates a peace-full life. When people endure hunger and thirst, they are not physically free from suffering and are not mentally free to see compassion or joy. When people suffer from gender subjugation or cultural restraint, they are not free to see tolerance or kindness. If we cannot SEE the qualities we desire, it is almost impossible to BE those qualities.
No matter what our current geographical location or social position may be, we must begin with ourselves in order to help all people of this planet attain physical and mental freedom. By SEE-ing ourselves as compassionate, kind, thoughtful, attentive, aware, loving and joyful we are free to BE that way! We are free to live in peace!
The more people that begin to experience a dignified life acts as a catalyst to trigger an irreversible reaction towards personal freedom for all people and Peace for ALL people. SEE this as possible and BE-lieve it is!
Make every day a “quality” day!......... Cheryl :)
