Chaos is a teacher the gives us many lessons. One of the most important of them is that we need one another, especially during times of adversity and crisis.
When things get tough or terrifying; it is tempting to create scapegoats or to “not listen to the news because it’s too disturbing”. Now more than ever we must band together as a global family. Despite the madness of the few who execute their own twisted ambitions with cruelty and destruction, actively showing empathy and compassion to those in need goes far in keeping the hope and Light alive.
All of us can do something beyond clicking a “Like” button. By supporting those who are in the front lines, you give strength and encouragement to all. If you are unsure how to offer support, think of a passion you have and align with that. For example, I’m a foodie and believe that all people should have ample access to nutritious food and drink, and clean water. Having access to the basic necessities of life lessens fear, eases suffering, and grows optimism for a better future. It shows the people who are suffering that they are not invisible and that we care. As such, I donate to an activist charity called “World Central Kitchen” whose passions and actions match my own.
Every deed mindfully done with compassion and empathy promotes healing of spirit, body, and mind for current and future generations. These actions tip the scale back to balance, peace, and Light. Know that there are millions of people around the world like you who are doing the same, so do not lose heart. It is only when we stand for what we believe and band together that we will see the change we want in the world. As I like to say, if we all give a little, then we all have a lot.
Pray and act for peace in some way every day.
