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.

But by minding one's own business are you not in fact enhancing humanity. I know my neighbors appreciate me for being polite to them instead of starting feuds with them. Just think. If it caught on world wide wouldn't this be a better earth to live in?
Where you went at such a great length explaining your personal life, how you lost your marriage to a blah blah blah... (don't need to elaborate) you can go back and read all your presentations and justification why you are so bitter with your marriage life and how you got all twisted out from the divorce. well anyways, for you to mind your own business as your preliminary argument just doesn't work in a community where you voice out (STRONGLY) your opinion for or against? isn't it? but i am not here to point out your contradictions Ed, I am just trying to understand that there are times when our communal opinion to understand each other doesn't leave much room of your " MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS " line of thinking.
Nonsmoker, did explain on his INDIVIDUALITY VERSUS CONFORMITY and yes sometimes we are who we are but for the benefit of all we do, partake in one's business, while not always at least once in a while. this is my humble opinion, then I can be wrong.
But thanks anyways, again. ED.

conservation is my bug I will plant a tree when I can. My own father even said to me do not buy flowers girl plant a tree in my memory. which I have done. He was more into the Buddhist way of life but he kept his kids opened minded to all things. He always said we are all interconnected and our deeds have knock on effect no matter how small. So me I SMILE, it makes other people smile too even if they do not know why I found. I of course love the life in trees and hug them when I can Any broken thing I will try very hard to make it whole again.
Love your new picture by the way you look more at peace SR
Have lovely Sunday.
Yes I am smiling,,,and on your contribution Red, yes, little things that we do our selves that is shouting with positive act and thoughts is the most needed formula for the contribution of this planet earth. We are, truly all one, Red. I believe in this after reading so much of Tao of Physics, buy Capra, Buddhism and Zen, added to all our human related wisdom of life's experiences.
Yes to all your ideas but on the flowers Red? I am guilty of picking them before they wilt anyways. Love them to death. What a delight those flowers bring to my life and just our sight. And for free..
Thanks again,
SR
Have lovely Sunday
Thanks so much. i won't write all these happiness yet as I have hundreds more I have written on the account of my wilted love. Red, but I am surely happy.

I think Western countries are responsible to help in improving this situation and while there is many individuals from western countries who helps pore children in Africa or where ever, such great kindness on individual level as much is great, it's not a solution to the problem but approach to find solution in long term goals is the only permanent way ... Good subject and Blog !
WEll said and noted.
Thank you as always.
