HUMANITY
We are all one, and live in the same planet earth (at least for right now). While we live in our own individual countries, we do share the same one and only world, breathing the same air, sharing the same oceans, and more. Considering how inter related we all are and as we progress, we notice that the popular saying of "this world is getting smaller and smaller" is coming to be truer than ever every day. Not because the physical essence of our earth is so but rather because of the convenience and closeness we have become due to transportation and communication.Anyways, the core of this topic is, what are we doing as a citizen of the earth that can contribute to the enhancement of humanity?
Is there anything that we know and can possibly do relative to the improvement of our lives? For the glory and good of humanity?
If the possibility is in your hand and can do it, what would that be? and why?
NOTE: It can be as simple and or as big and detailed as you can think of.
Thanks all for your participation.

Well, as for me I am a teacher so hopefully I am teaching young people to be better people themselves and to respect each other AND this great planet we call Earth.
A job that enlightens the darkness of ignorance. Without which we'd be limited to tge rubble of ignorance and idiotic thinking. I'm not saying that education is limited to these walls but its so much bettet because of us.
I'm retired bald and taught philosophy and political science and what is your field?
Thanks bald
Thankz so much

Why that was nice thankyou you rock thanks for making me smile
As per the other blog...yes, Jung is an amazing person. I love that quote you posted there....so true!
We as a collective society of Earth can be more compassionate towards others. It all starts from us as individuals. Greed is another huge issue, at least here in the United States. I am not sure of the exact numbers here but the top 3% of the wealthiest own 80%+ of the money. Really??!! Do they really need that much money? What about your employees that make you the money?
Speaking of the employees that make them that money. I have a friend who knows somebody who works for a charity organization. He told my friend that he had a meeting with a wealthy contributor to that organization. The wealthy man came right out and told the person that he wanted to see the poor people stay poor. True story.....hmmmmmmmmmmm.
If the possibility was in my hands to improve humanity, the biggest thing I would do would be to inform people. Other than that, I have made many monetary donations to people in need. Why? I realize we are all on this planet and life is not easy for many. Not to mention, I grew up in poverty and know first hand how stressful life can be with a lack of knowledge and lack of finances.
One last thing we can do as a whole is not waste our resources and cut down on pollution.
SR...I hope your retirement is going as you dreamed it would. Enjoy your freedom. :)
Thanks Hans

For me it is not a question on how big your contribution towards humanity is...any small act of kindness or consciousness towards the greater good for all adds up...
So that being said, I try to do my part as a responsible citizen...work, pay taxes, recycle and donate my time and money for others' who have very little...maybe provide hope when possible...and sometimes just listen... cheers!
At Johnny, yes thank you so much, there are so many on his line (Jung) line of thinking that is so beneficial to man but this is the best I use so much to my advantage. Only then we can truly be at peace with all of those around us, including enemies, if any?

Yes, it is so unfortunate that the rich people's mentality is to make them richer at the expense of us the poor. We wonder why walmart is by far the fastest to accumulate wealth? and the treatment they do to all their employees? lacking health benefit by not giving them the right hours to insure their benefits? Go figure.
Thanks Johnny.
thanks again Jphnny.
SR
and like Hans said, after my response to you. Ditto.
thanks Hans.
Like I said: And I will say it again: MY BELIEF IS NOT TO DISRESPECT THOSE THAT DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD, BUT FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHERE THE END OF UNIVERSE IS, AND HOW IT IS CONCEIVED OTHER THAN THEORIES, AND EXPLAIN IT TO ME IN MY LAYMAN'S UNDERSTANDING, AND IF DR. TYSON DE GRAZZIE AND DR. RICHARD DAWKINS, THE FORMER A QUANTUM PHYSICIST AND THE LATTER A BIOLOGIST BOTH RENOWNED AND PROFESSORS AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY CAN'T PUT THEIR FINGERS ON, INCLUDING THE COLLECTIVE KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THE GENIUSES THEN YOU TELL ME AND I WILL CONSIDER YOU MY GOD. For right now I am but an imperfect and humbled human being that doesn't know any better.
there is my argument. Now if you truly believe, there is no god, that is your right. I be the judge on mine.
Thanks

Now this is the most that I can relate to my dear Cailin and the most that I adhere to. In fact if you will come across my children, friends, and the man I have loved so much, including my ex husband of 25 years, they will tell you that I AM THE MOST FORGIVING PERSON. and why not, life is way too short to deal on all the inequities of life. and like Johnny said: If we look at the famous thought of CARL JUNG, relative to knowing 'EVERYTHING THAT IRRITATES US ABOUT OTHERS CAN LEAD US TO UNDERSTAND MORE OURSELVES" and therefore ultimately understand those around us.
Thanks so much Cailin and I live by this principle. Never to hold any grudges towards anyone. close to you or from a distance. But if they poke you to death then please avoid them.
Thanks again.

In line with this, therefore I declare, I am not perfect and for those I have come short of their expectations, please forgive me. I am forever grateful.

Twazzle, thank you for joining and add your positive attitude on all my writes. And let me tell you, there is nothing better than teaching the same principles and values to our own children. My ex husband and I tried to all our children and while they can be better, I am not dissappointed at how theiy turned out. As fit as we try to make them who we want them to be. It never works that way because of their own persona and characteristics they acquire on their own. Kahlil Gibran emphasized this so much on his take for CHILDREN GOOGLE IT AND YOU will be so amazed at how much truth there is in that. They are of us, but never from us..
Thanks Twazzle.

Loulou, how can we not benefit from these primordial and very intermediate and very good nature act of man towards our fellow human being? Much to be desired and therefore be instituted on these kindness, compassion and assistance to all those in need.
