+ or - ?

Each day, we add(+) and subtract (-) some values to our lives. For example, one could add positive joy to another by an act of kindness such as offering our seat to those who needed more than we do in the train or helping an elderly cross over the street. One could also make some conscious efort by subtracting unwholesome values from our lives such as becoming less aggressive drivers in crowded cities or becoming less dependant on items that are environmentally unfriendly. In other words, we constantly + and - values to our lives and they have direct and indirect impact on the overall nurture and growth of our planet earth. What values are you going to + or- today? How would they impact your life and our world?

Towards the Light

Large pebbles/rocks can be stumbling stones as well as stepping stones for humanity. We live in a connected world. Each person has the potential to contribute to the growing of a great global community. We do our part by stacking up stones so that we can climb upwards towards the true Light, aiming for the highest ideals. We must work hand in hand, heart to heart, respecting and honoring each other in order to achieve greater heights. In the light of this, the Koreans(and others) who are being held captives should be set free so that they can continue to serve the people in Afghanistan(elsewhere).
