We live in a globalising world. That means that all of us, consciously or not, depend on each other. Whatever we do or refrain from doing affects the lives of people who live in places we'll never visit.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everything we do affects other people.
Our actions - and inaction - touch people we may never know and never meet across the globe.
The world is a place that is so interconnected that what happens in another part of the world will impact us.
It is crucial that we develop real awareness of ourselves as citizens of Earth, linked by mutual and indissoluble bonds. When we clearly recognize this reality and ground ourselves in it, we are compelled to take a strict accounting of our way of life.
We have the ability to craft a life where we are completely fulfilled. We think it is dependent on outsiders, and to some extent it is, but it is much more dependent on the attitude we bring to life.
The measures and acts which show us violently disposed towards the outer world can never stay without a violent reaction on ourselves.
Our lives are to be used and thus to be lived as fully as possible, and truly it seems that we are never so alive as when we concern ourselves with other people.
Just as the earth is a planet in its own right, so each of us is an individual in our own sphere of habitation. We are individuals, but we live in families and communities where order provides a system of harmony that hinges on obedience to principles.
What we do really affects the world. Most of us think we can't do anything, but it really isn't true.
Everything we do, I'd imagine, influences everything we will do.
