Somewhere To Begin

 

Introduction

Yes, simply somewhere where you might like to begin, and where you might find the odd new thing pop up.

 "Memories are always better when they're preceded by wise choices and selfless acts."
The poet, author





THOUGH EVIL (THE REALM OF DARKNESS) HAS THE POWER TO INFLICT TERRIBLE CRUELTY,
CALAMITY AND INJURY, ITS POWER CAN'T COMPARE TO THE POWER OF LOVE (THE REALM OF
LIGHT AND RIGHT, NOT ANARCHY) — YES, EVIL NOT ABLE TO HEAL, MEND, OR CHANGE HEARTS
AND MINDS, BUT ONLY ABLE TO PRODUCE ILL, AND WHY IT JUST STUPIFIES AND BLINDS, AND
THEREFORE, IT IMPOTENT EXCEPT FOR ITS DESTRUCTIVE, DEGENERATIVE ABILITY, ITS CRUEL,
CORRUPT AND CUNNING DECEPTIVENESS, WHICH ONLY HARMS HUMANITY, AND ALL WHY ULTIMATELY,
ONLY LOVE CAN TRIUMPH, HAS THE CREATIVE, REGENERATIVE ABILITY, WILL WIN THE VICTORY, BUT
SUCH ONLY AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF EVIL'S TYRANNY — SOME FINAL SENARIO — AND ALL WHY WE SHOULD TAKE THE PATH OF INTELLIGENCE AND NOT INSANITY, LOVING ALL, HARMING NO ONE,
DOING GOOD AND WHAT’S RIGHT, STANDING FIRM, DEVELOPING CHARACTER — IN OTHER WORDS,
PREPARING FOR THAT VICTORY DAY, BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES, WHAT WILL THE PATH WE TOOK
CONVEY, AND WHAT MAY LOVE BE FOUND TO SAY, GIVEN THAT LOVE DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY,
AND ALL THE MORE SO SHOULD IT CONCERN ETERNITY?






Duty And Purpose


Our duty and purpose while here on earth, and more so given the times that we’re living in, is,

To ease the pain and suffering of others whenever and wherever we can.
To defend and ensure each others right to freedom of expression and civil/religious liberty.
To seek disarmament, peace and harmony.
To do all we can to make society safer, healthier, sounder, loving and caring.
To lose ourselves in others and humble self-sacrificial service.
To pull together for the greater good, for the preservation of our environment and its well-being, and in order to undo any damage foolishly created.
To fairly share Earth’s bounties.
To use Earth’s resources, land, sky and sea wisely.
To spread light and brightness, hope and encouragement.
To work to find answers to anything afflicting humanity or individuals.
To uphold the sanctity of life.
To protect innocent creatures.
To learn and grow constructively, and without pain to others.
To develop a tender compassionate heart, a noble, wiser, educated and stretched mind, maximum health, and thus a prolonged life.
To enjoy and appreciate each others company, successes, diversity, individuality, talents and abilities.
To leave this world all the better for our presence.
To play our part in the cycle of life via daily work and duties.
To ensure that the needs of all are met, especially those of the weak, injured, handicapped, disabled, vulnerable, widowed, and aged
To run to the rescue of any who're being abused, violated, oppressed, or attacked.
To defend the wrongly accused or wrongly imprisoned.
To denounce and expose anything and anyone treading on human rights, causing injury, hardship, poverty, suffering, starvation, environmental damage, cruelty to animals, plotting carnage, war and strife, or inciting hatred and bigotry.
To warn of dangers and traps.
To denounce and expose secret societies.
To give equal voice and thought to minorities.
To uphold truth and expose error.
To keep all in positions of authority honest and accountable.
And to lessen government interference.



Until


Until everyone is able to follow their own path (without injuring another);
Able to follow their own dream and implement their own plans;
Able to live without being deprived of the necessities of life;
Able to live their life without being intimidated, threatened, violated, hindered, pressured or forced to conform to some majority or new order of things;
Able to defend them self against wrongful accusation or imprisonment via the full and impartial weight of the law;
Able to freely express their opposition, discontent, or disagreement without fear or punishment, and likewise, able to point out wrongs, error, charlatans, and those abusing positions of authority or influence, without fear or punishment;
Able to practice their religion without interference or ridicule, or to discard religion altogether;
There'll never truly be peace on earth, but continued troubles, discontent, hidden agendas and activities, unpleasant surprises and oppressive dominating powers.



What We Should Always Keep In Mind

When it comes to those who daily cross our path, and those we work or mix with, we should always keep in mind the following lest we add to the load they’re bearing (or should the tables be turned):

They may have recently lost a loved one.
May be dealing with marital betrayal.
May be going through a painful separation, divorce, or custody battle.
May be caught in a frustrating, lonely, loveless marriage.
May be dealing with abuse, intimidation, indifference, insensitivity or bigotry.
May be having to come to grips with a terminal illness.
May be suffering from a distressing heath issue (perhaps too personal to mention).
May be struggling with depression and anxiety (and again, issues too personal to mention).
May be reeling from a job loss or shattered dream.
May be struggling to make ends meet.
May be quietly contemplating suicide.
May be fighting low self esteem, and midst it all, even appearing confident, giving the impression they’re doing fine, putting on a brave face, laughing on the outside when they're crying on the inside — in other words, when they’re actually in desperate need of tender loving care, a shoulder, an ear, support, friendship, and particular or unique answers, answers that may never come.
Yes, there are times when we could lessen someone's load, but for some reason, perhaps inexcusable, we don’t.



Reasons:


For Caring

Caring shows that we have a heart and a conscience.
The greatest happiness and satisfaction comes from losing ourselves in others.
Every human via their very being is precious, and worthy of time, effort and love.
We’re all linked by origin and lineage; we’re one big family.
We’re all suffering in one way or another.
We all know how easy it is to err, and that many are paying terribly for their error.
Caring will place us on the side of right, light, and hope.
What goes around comes around. In other words: If we don’t show care towards others, care may not come our way when we need it.
Pulling together is the only way we can improve the lot of humanity, cut back the damage we’ve done to our planet, and lessen damage in future.
We’re all in the same boat (Earth), are facing the same apocalyptic scenario, and time wise have the same narrow window.
Caring means that less people will feel neglected, which can translate to less anger, crime and assaults.

For Taking Care

Our lives are only capable of lasting a certain length of time. By not taking care of ourselves we might decrease that period.
By not taking care of ourselves we might suffer from miserable health problems, and at an earlier age, and as a consequence, for a longer period of time.
By not taking care of ourselves we might create unnecessary problems or misery for our loved ones, affecting their quality of life.
By not taking care of ourselves we might add to the already overtaxed medical system and budget blowouts depriving others (even ourselves) of assistance when it’s needed.
By not taking care of ourselves we might add to the already stretched and under funded organisations (and resources) involved in attending to us, such as search and rescue.
Overusing and mistreating any organ or member unnecessarily, or sustaining unnecessary injuries (via the likes of certain sports, fun activities, etc), might see us pay a price that may well out weigh the pleasure we get.
By not taking care of ourselves we might be less well off financially due to certain expenses incurred, be that due to doctor or dentist visits, travel expenses, etc.
By not taking care of ourselves we might influence others who’ll possibly suffer similar woes, adding to the burdens their loved ones and society have to bear.
By not taking care of ourselves, or in general, we might display a lack of wisdom and common sense that portrays us poorly.
By not taking care of ourselves, we might also show a recklessness and disregard for others that could leave them suffering, and once again, such not saying much of us.
By not taking care of ourselves we may not be able to do certain things any more that we currently love doing.

For Being Yourself

It’s being yourself that makes you very special, the unique person that you are.
The world will be all the less for you hiding behind someone else, because such stifles your individuality.
We can never be someone else no matter how hard we try.
Trying to be someone else may upset that person you’re trying to be.
Everyone is human, faulty, has their own issues, uses the bathroom! So don’t be too hard on yourself. You’re no better or worse.
Trying to be someone else leads to confusion, emotional illness and stress.
Trying to be someone else is somewhat acting dishonestly, deceitfully.
You might disappoint those who like you the way you are.
Not being yourself holds you back from contributing in your own unique way.
No matter how little you think of yourself it won’t alter your value. Your worth is based on your very existence.

For Putting Others First

Because when we don’t put others first we display that sad behaviour that’s always been a curse to humanity.
Because when we secure the rights of others we secure our own.
Because what goes around comes around — a seemingly invisible law. Thus we may not be thought of.
Because such beautifies one’s character
Because that special inner feeling that comes from such can’t be experienced by other means.
Because if there is a God (as I believe), and our destiny is largely decided by our selfishness or selflessness, it would behove us to.
Because it sets an example that can only but prove a blessing.
Because it rights rather than wrongs.
Because we never know whether that person that we don't put first may be a future employer, benefactor, father-in-law, etc, and what then?
Because there's no better way to be loved or well thought of, not that such should be the motivation.

In Times Like These


In times like these especially, what a difference it would make,

If those who are very wealthy, be they pop stars, actors, entertainers, business men/women, etc, were to refrain from spending their wealth on lavishly indulging themselves, be that on over-the-top parties, outrageously priced cars, jets, super yachts, chattels, mansions here and there, regular extravagant country to country jaunts, etc, and instead, used their wealth to alleviate suffering and poverty at home and abroad, be that via providing equipment, food, medical supplies, clinics, housing, education, clothing, opportunities, etc. It could be said, that how much one has left, after they’ve given, indicates the true state of their generosity. Yes, how much is still sitting in their bank account? Assets? 

If governments, local councils, etc, refrained from spending money on the likes of trips to the moon (that’ll never work for us, can’t), the proliferation of weapons, fire works, extravagant buildings, unnecessary and expensive statues, memorials, events, or titivations, and instead, spent it on animal welfare/protection, food banks, refuge centres, cheaper public transport, recycling, mental health services, free or cheaper medical care and aids (such as crutches, spectacles, dentures, artificial limbs, hearing aids), etc.

If the likes of heads of state, members of parliament, chief executives, refused to accept and justify unacceptable (some would say obscene), unwarranted salaries, bonuses.

If those in the medical profession, be they doctors, dentists, surgeons, optometrists, etc, cut their charges, accepted lower profits, and particularly helped those on low incomes, benefits, be it via free services from time to time, or be it via reduced costs.

If those with skills, be they an electrician, computer whiz, builder, mechanic, lawyer, etc, volunteered their service/ability from time to time, without charge, in an effort to help those in difficulty and struggling financially, and also cut their charges in general so that their services were more affordable to all.

If those who own businesses showed more concern over their staff and the community than their profits, improved wages and conditions (certainly where warranted), sought to produce quality products at a price that showed generosity and thought, rather than possible greed.

If husbands and wives put all their effort into trying to make their partner happy, putting them first, loving and caring for them (self-sacrificially), displaying affection, compassion, sensitivity, building them up, supporting them, being their for them, being faithful, transparent, non-violent, nor manipulative, and not placing unfair expectations on them.

If both parents and children made a greater effort to understand each other, worked together for the greater good of each other, showed mutual respect, were more tolerant and forgiving towards each other, and more sensitive to each others needs, less judgmental.

If you and I lived more humbly, focusing on needs rather than wants, not the indulgent or unnecessary, and instead, used that money (that we might have wasted) to help those in the community who are poorer, struggling, or by giving it to food banks, charities, sponsoring children overseas, doing our bit to halt poverty and suffering around the world, etc.

If Christians truly lived according to their Bible, displayed tolerance, love, compassion, and a non-judgmental, nor self-righteous attitude, allowed others to respectfully challenge their beliefs and actions without responding negatively or showing a bias. 

If all, whether Christian, Muslim, or atheist, put self last, insisted upon a higher standard within society, appreciated and respected values, morals, etiquette, showed tolerance, fairness, and compassion, sought peace, valued the sacredness of life, upheld law and order, freedom of speech, civil/religious liberty, non-violence.

If all in authority humbly sought to serve rather than dominate, to aid rather than hinder, to improve rather than worsen, to give rather than take, to protect rather than injure.

If no one killed creatures for sport, cruelly experimented on them, confined them to cages for self gratification, or mistreated them in general.

If all acted responsibly towards the environment, took pride in themselves and their surroundings, took care of their health to the best of their ability.


Words Of Wisdom


Appreciate and treasure your very existence, the opportunities that your birth has presented — yes, appreciate and treasure each moment, day, week, month, and year, for your lifespan is just that, a very limited span of time, one that passes very quickly, but usually unnoticed until you’ve far less time than more.

Appreciate and treasure your loved ones as if you only have that present moment with them, for their life may cease the very moment that present moment ends; and also never treat them less than well, lest their departure leave you with greater pain, deep regret, and even guilt.

Treat everyone as you would like them to treat you, bearing in mind that what goes around comes around (in some form or another), be that sooner or later, and even after you’ve seen the error of your ways, and also bear in mind that those whom you mistreat might seek to harm you, might seek to get back at you somehow.

At all times display courtesy, politeness, good manners, due respect and etiquette, bearing in mind that should you not do so, you might upset the very ones that you’ll have cause to regret upsetting, be they the likes of a potential father-in-law, employer, judge, tutor, or benefactor.

Learn to go without, and cultivate generosity, not just as a character building exercise, but for the sake of others who’re less fortunate, and who have as much right to life’s necessities as you, and bearing in mind that one day you may well be in need yourself.

Always forgive others and even yourself, never seek revenge, and don’t harbour grudges or bitterness, for by so doing, such will turn in on you like a cancer, eating away at you emotionally and physically, and thereby adding to any pain and injustice that came your way, depriving you of hope and joy, preventing you from moving on and being a blessing to others, or negatively affecting those dearest to you.

Value and uphold the rights of others, their right to freedom of speech (be it pleasing or displeasing), and civil/religious liberty, lest you suffer from the same erosion and loss, and join them in becoming subjects rather than citizens.

Avoid gossip, armchair judgments, and unconstructive criticism, lest such return to bite you, and always be honest with others and transparent in all that you do, freely admitting your faults, mistakes and failures, and thereby freeing yourself of skeletons and potential accusations.

Never indulge in bigotry, nor allow bias or prejudice to play a part in your dealings with others, and always give them the opportunity to state their case and disagree, to respectfully challenge what you believe, uphold and practice, thereby being receptive and prepared to change should their argument have validity.

Always put another’s best interests before your own, giving them the time of day and the benefit of the doubt, respecting their right to privacy and quality of life, appreciating their individuality, talents and input, being quick to apologise where at fault, and at all times displaying hospitality, thoughtfulness, compassion, genuine affection, and loving concern.

Always show respect to those in authority, (be they right or wrong, and lest your lot be made harder), and value the wisdom of those who’re of mature years, or experienced in their field.

Always choose good over evil, aligning yourself with that positive force in life that leads to better outcomes and blessings; always act justly, fairly, and impartially, and seek to turn any enemy into a friend that they may thereby cease to be a threat.

Never mistreat any creature [animal, etc], for they’ve the same right to life as you, and are no less deserving of tender loving care, and bear in mind that their very presence (and more so if they’re in one’s care) poses a test that reveals the state of an individual’s heart, or the heartbeat of society.

Value and look after your health via exercise, self-discipline and temperance, via consuming only that which is beneficial, and via avoiding that which could injure, lest your journey be more painful, and your loved ones burdened, thus adding to society’s costs, lessening your lifespan, and leaving your loved ones grieving much sooner.

Appreciate what you have, for many haven’t even that, and appreciate the fact that what you currently have you could easily lose, for life is unpredictable, and has a way of unpleasantly surprising the ungrateful, those who take things for granted, or who don’t give thought to the things they should.

Take time to enjoy the company of good friends, relations, and family, to savour the taste of beneficial food, to listen to uplifting music, to enrich the mind with noble and useful material, to marvel at the wonders of nature, to pursue a constructive and pleasurable hobby, to have wholesome fun, to share experiences that foster hope, and to regain physical and mental strength through peaceful relaxation and heavenly meditation.

Go out of your way to ease the burdens and workload of others, to visit the lonely, the ill, the despondent, the incapacitated, the incarcerated, and to assist in that which is charitable, bearing in mind that your benevolence and kindness should also include vagrants and strangers.

Develop a positive attitude, face your fears, don’t be afraid to express your emotions, roll with life’s punches, allow yourself to be moulded by life’s lessons, and put past mistakes and misfortunes behind in order to move on, in order to give others the benefit of your own experiences, and in order to leave something behind that will make a positive difference and even show a change in direction.

Seek to improve on your capabilities, to gain new skills, to experience and learn all that you can in order that it may help you grow and mature, become more well-rounded, and that it may give more depth to your understanding, thus developing within you a more holistic outlook, an ability to appreciate the lot and concerns of others, to think outside the box and not be confined to the narrow views of some.

At all times maintain your dignity, refraining from course language, crude expressions, bawdy, riotous, slothful behaviour, childish outbursts, pettiness, vindictiveness, and sulkiness.

Never indulge in mind games, nor manipulation of any sort, nor attempt to force others to accept or do something against their will, but rather, use gentle persuasion and sound reasoning, allowing them to decide for themselves which path they'll take, as is their right.

Always do your own research and investigating, drawing from many sources and weighing the various arguments, lest you be taken off track and swayed by the majority (so often wrong, and usually made up of sheep who let others do their thinking for them and thereby decide their destiny), and lest you perpetuate error and mislead others in turn.

Appreciate that a moment of carelessness, any inattention, fooling around, or any unnecessary risk, could result in serious injury to yourself (or others), much misery and suffering, the loss of your hearing, eyesight, a limb or limbs, all of which might thereby deprive you of the ability to participate fully in life, to pursue and enjoy that which once gave you much pleasure, or even deprive you of life itself.

Take pride in your appearance and surroundings, for should you not do so, it could work against you, for others may be less inclined to lend you their things, rent you their home, or may consider you unworthy of their generosity, or unfit for some role that would please you.

Value and look after the environment in all that you do, be that via careful use of contaminants, or their non-usage, be that via recycling and avoidance of wastage (lest you help deplete the earth's vital resources), or be that via taking care of what you possess in order to ensure its longevity, and thus not unnecessarily and irresponsibly add to the stockpile polluting the earth, and which fouls your own nest.

In summary:

Use your time, mind, body, abilities and resources in a way that will bring maximum return rather than minimum, that will produce good rather than evil, that will keep you free of injury, ill-health, and trouble (as much as is humanly possible), that will keep you free of accusation or charge, that will help to resolve, solve, or improve, that will prove of benefit to others and the creatures that share our planet, that will make the world a better and brighter place, and that will leave behind the sweet aroma of your selflessness, bravery, and positive contribution.
