What is absolutely liberating to think about, is the reality that all Men, everywhere… are created equal. We really are. It’s almost so simple, that at first glance, it might be overlooked. However in contemplation, we see the sameness. Here, in my country of America, we have been obsessing over Local and National Politics. The reality is that one of the two Candidates will win; that already is a given. Some will be elated, some will be angry and annoyed. As the current catch phrase says, “It is what it is.” We forget quite often, that our worries are “First World Problems,” and not at all what is the current major concern in other countries or those that are labeled “Third World Countries.”
We, in all countries, have the same basic needs for: food, clothing, and shelter; the same basic desires for: love, understanding, and compassion; and the same non-ending tests and challenges to not only be better people for ourselves, but for the world around us. Every Man, every Nation, everywhere! Now, this is the sameness of all Humanity. Dwell on this thought and truth; let it sink in.
As we continue through the last little bit of the year 2020, let us focus not on what we don’t have, but rather focus on what we already have been given. LIFE! Life is good, although not always easy. It is especially apparent to us all during 2020! It appears that we are frequently put in positions of personal challenge and hopefully we grow from those experiences. I know from experience, it is often difficult to weather these tests, but it can be done.
Do something with those tests/challenges that make the world a better place for those following in our footsteps. No change is too small. No action is too little. Life is our gift and the most wonderful thing is the realization that all men, everywhere, start out the same. And… By the Grace of God, hopefully, we meet up in Eternity… as ONE! Have a meaningful week.
