As you may have guessed I'm fairly uncertain about what life is all about, whether it has meaning, if there's a god and does it matter. But if there's one thing I'm sure of it's that we are supposed to evolve. What that means is that hopefully, by the time it's over, each of us will have changed into a better person than we were. And I think it's clear what I mean by 'better.' More giving, tolerant, loving, patient, kind, and grateful. The trouble I have is that while some of us are making an effort, there are a surprising number of well-educated people who think it's all about the acquisition of more, regardless of the cost. I say surprising because it always amazes me that anyone would want to stay the same. I mean, why would you choose to stagnate? It's disappointing. Because I believe we could create paradise IF we could all learn to be better, better sisters, mothers, workers, bosses, writers, teachers, and especially leaders.
The trouble is getting everyone else on board.
Evolving is a must and I believe inevitable . . . unless you choose to ignore life lessons along the way. I can't believe that's possible. Of course, having written that I think I might have ignored a few and, therefore, still have a ways to go before I'm perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by the Write Game and joining in the giveaway fun.
Whether or not there is a god, or if it is all just a crapshoot, we all should strive for those things. Good one...
ReplyDeleteI agree. We should strive to evolve. Have a happy New Year.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great point about life that we need to make it better no matter what we believe. Our motivation to change and make us better and those around us.
ReplyDeleteWithout personal advancement you will be the same person forever :)
ReplyDeleteI think there are too many that become complacent with their own lives and then attempt to push that stagnation on to others. The energy vampires in this world who take, but long ago stopped giving.
ReplyDeleteYou are quite right. We actually could live in a loving paradise but for the moment at least - there are too many who choose to just stand motionless where they are. Great post!
