The world is that what we make of, and it could be
better if we would be more conscious of the consequences of our own actions.
We are so technologically advanced, but morally still
behind. We are in the era of nanotechnology, quantum physics, space travels and is amazing to clearly see, a blunt contrast on people’s attitudes, coming
from primitive, ignorant and discriminatory thoughts, of religious nature,
sexual orientation, age, racial or social level. They forget that, we all came
to this world in the same manner and just as the same, our bodies will putrefy
tomorrow in coffins, even if made of precious stones, equalling all of us. Thus
confirming that, the only thing which differentiates us, is the way we see the
world and how we conduct ourselves in it.
Yet we still value that of which has no value:
• Appearances:
speckled bodies, plastic beauties, with empty minds and hearts deprived of
affection, with comforted egos by what they see in the mirror or by the false
praise of the envious;
• Social Status:
falsely grounded by a diploma, a job of power, money in the bank, imported
items, expensive trips, backed up by fictitious credits which at any time, can
be subject to be wiped out by selfish and ambitious governmental and empowering
minds or an unstable economy;
• Racial: we prefer to forget the facts confirmed by history, where the white race, were the
main producers of sufferings occurred in many of the stories of mankind and
that if we simply peel off our own skins, you will see no difference. The world is
made of many colours.
• Sexual orientation:
highly prejudiced thoughts showing a psychological pathology of hidden duality,
unresolved frustrations based on imposed beliefs.
We dispel others for the superfluous world we have
created, where gives us a false high self-esteem, believing to be somehow,
better than those we judge and discriminate. All this, for things that a moth
can eat, a thief can steal and rust will destroy one day.
We are blind to the essentials of people, that of which
money cannot buy, no plastic surgery can reproduce nor can be bought from a
shop shelf: 'the inner beauty, morality and character'.
We still label others as if they were things, we live in inverted values where many cherish conventions; the absurd became normal, the
immoral, entertain us on the TV and on virtual sites. We give more strength to
evil by disseminating their doings on world news, instead of the many good
deeds that are done in anonymity. We are quick to judge before wearing others
shoes, in order to understand what led them to be or do what was done.
We have lost the sense of ethics, sad fact ...as we don’t
need to be religious to know that:
•it is ethical to do good without choosing who to;
•it is ethical to respect the differences, the individual,
and the rights of each other;
•it is ethical to give others what we would like to
receive if we were them;
•it is ethical to divide the bread with those in hunger;
•it is unethical to point fingers, to treat differently a
humble person that walks in an expensive shop or restaurant;
•It is unethical to see the lack of respect for human
kind.
If with love, is already so hard to live in this world,
without it, we will be involved in a tangle of unrelated craziness, in which prejudice
takes over the minds, causing so much pain. We are certainly responsible for the inequities
in this world, and shouldn’t remain silent when facing injustice, but above all,
we must exemplify the best in us; “Be the difference you want to see happening on others.”
“Whilst we refuse
to conform to this reality, in fear of going against a false interpretation of
the truth, the words we profess doesn’t mean anything if cannot be sustained
throughout times, by reason. And time, this faithful friend, will unmasks all
that is not in accordance to the ‘Law of Love’, revealing how small were our
thoughts, and how they have contributed to perpetuate others sufferings. Because, the world turns, and in one of those
turns, we will have to face ourselves in the mirror”.
Let’s therefore, eliminate in us, any kind of inherited
discrimination, so we don’t reproduce this unequal world in our children’s
mind, because only the Creator holds the absolute truth and the right to judge.
“Worse than oppression, is the submission to
others thoughts. One must not forget that, discrimination of any kind is an
illegal and immoral harassment.”
