The Human Challange

We mortals are surrounded by acts of hate, belligerence, selfishness, and greed daily. But we are also surrounded by acts of kindness, love, hopefulness, and charity as well. Often the challenge we face is to search out and embrace the latter elements and brush aside the former. Sometimes we succeed, while all too frequently we fail.

As the new year approaches let us all take the time to contemplate how the world could exist if each of us were to truly embrace kindness, love, hopefulness, and charity in everything we undertake. We can collectively change the world we occupy and create a world that most of us envision, if we accept our responsibility to become individual torchbearers and treat all others as we would have them act toward us.

Humankind must ultimately understand the fragility of life and the interdependence that we must cultivate between all races, religions, and economic strata to survive peacefully. This balance is further dependent upon our harmonious linkage with the earth's natural resources including the gifts of clean air, pure water, unpolluted land, and nature's plants and animals.

As we, the temporary occupants of earth, proceed on our life's journey we are obliged to sustain these resources for future inhabitants of earth as well.
Let us individually face this Human Challenge and live our lives to generate kindness,love, hopefulness, charity, and earth's sustenance wherever that journey takes us.
