Bursting Egos

Greetings y'all ;

It occurred to me that with seven billion bipedal ambulants and homosapiens roaming the earth's crust it's easy to forget the importance of each of them, each of us and each of you. It's also easy to blame or as I prefer to reframe it - give them credit for our choices, path, decisions and consequences. At the end of the day we all close our eyes and it's just our physical vessels, our soul and creator.

I hear folks fussing and moaning and looking for ways to dodge the badge of honor known as accountability and personal responsibility. I find it interesting that people will hold others feet to the fire but won't or can't cowboy up to their own humanity. Is the human ego really so overinflated ? If so what happens when it bursts? We are all humans, we live , we learn ( hopefully ) we accept we part of a greater good.

Folks every person on this third rock from the sun is interconnected. We owe it to ourselves , each other and our creator to help each sentient being we encounter. It only takes a minute to listen- truly listen to the message others are offering, to help if that is required, to offer a smile. Every one is some ones mother, brother, sister, father, son, daughter etc... The Dalai Lama suggested , based on the Buddihist philosophy of reincarnation, that every one at some point has been or will be your mother/ father. Hmm how do you want others to treat you or your family?

Now back to this teaching my man cub the above mentioned attributes of accountability and forgiveness of self and others. Right words, right thoughts and right actions.
