Telling Others What to Do

Who am I to tell others what to do? A good copout question if you asked me. Sure it’s easier not to try and educate other people in the ways of life. After all, if they fail… They will blame us. Another copout. We generally don’t wish to get involved with others because of what we do in private. There are groups where people with the same private interests can get together. And regardless of what position I am amongst my peers, I have a duty to practice morals and values. Most people when they hear morals shut the door to common sense. They quickly brandish! "Morality equals Religion" They never thought, morals are far superior to any man-made religion. So people try to justify their bad behavior by redefining the true nature of morality.

For how can anyone have virtue if she does not commit herself to honesty? Many of us are in dire need of a rude awakening. We need to realize that when we hold grudges because we are too lazy to make the effort, we become very angry, hateful people. Our concern is not for others; our concern is only for ourselves. We believe we’re superior to the rest of Gods children. We justify not doing good things when we say- I don’t believe in that. We would rather spend "Our Time" partying. Participating in activities that never truly enlighten the soul, we find ourselves depressed. After the guests have all left, the friends have said their farewells, and we are alone, we feel an emptiness because we refuse to believe there is a God that loves us. Facing day after day with intellectual educated earthly knowledge, we never see the true potential of spiritual enlightenment.

We consider the books of religion nothing more than sayings. We do not consider the truth in the many different cultures. We are afraid to read the word and see how it has shaped Our destiny. Had we not been able to read, our knowledge would have only come to the point of those who are unable to read… Sadly, most of us ‘do know how to read.’ We just conveniently never find the time to read those spiritual books and get a better control on our conscience. Some of us do not wish to have a conscience. We do not wish to feel the guilt and "chains of our mistakes" and Our Indifferent behavior. We do not wish to be reminded that endowed with science; there is a spiritual force that is as mysterious as electricity. Moreover, most of us have a better understanding of how much we appreciate electricity in this day and age. If spirituality is the next level of good things to have in life, why do we not have an appreciation of its power?

Emotions are reflections of the soul~ on your body. Your moods, your attitudes, your desire or lack of desire is an expression of your constant emotions. Sometimes we make mistakes and refused to forgive ourselves. Sometimes, we just become confused by religious matters and therefore, state there can be no God. There’s one big difference in the heart of believers compared to those who choose not to believe anything. Faith teaches us to laugh at the world. Regardless of the hardship, we cannot blame others. We must look to ourselves and figure out a way to release our immortal spirit. People have been to the Vietnam War, people have been victims of evil wars, people have been displaced and forgotten. However, in all these groups there are people who have found a way to be happy "after the fact." Their minds did not lose sight of believing. I have met many people who have had horrendous tragedy. Those who were happy today found that happiness in experience.
