Over the past few days, I’ve had a sporadic Twitter exchange with a fellow regarding my response to a recent @ONECampaign *tweet* – What is your dream for the next generation?
My response – “peace & happiness”, followed by an additional wish of “unlimited compassion for others”.
A 140 character *tweet* can effectively convey MANY a lucky thought, but can it sum up my views in respect to equality and fairness for ALL people? NOPE!
But thank goodness, today’s daily dose of Dharma Goodness courtesy of Tricycle Magazine can!
“During a lecture while I was interpreting for the Dalai Lama, he said in what seemed to me to be broken English, “Kindness is society.” I wasn’t smart enough to think he was saying kindness is society. I thought he meant kindness is important to society; kindness is vital to society; but he was saying that kindness is so important that we cannot have society without it. Society is impossible without it. Thus, kindness IS society; society IS kindness. Without concern for other people it’s impossible to have society.” – Jeffrey Hopkins, “Equality”
Yep, that says it all and far more eloquently than I EVER could!
How we choose to view the world around us is THE choice that creates our reality. If you don’t like what you see, begin to change how YOU see and live it!
In the words of En Vogue (so what, I’m old!) “Free your mind, and the rest will follow…”
Keeping it positive and moving forward!:-)
