Cohesive Links??!

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace and blessings. I wanted  to take the time to think and reflect.

    I was inspired to write these thoughts out of genuine concern. They say that we can all do small things with great love, and the truth is that we can. The small tiny acts are the ones that probably convey the most, but most of the time are overlooked. When really these are the ones that make-up what is hoped to be achieved on a larger scale. Or as the saying goes: Love is not grande, but millions of tiny acts put together. In a similar way, we can think about populations. Within societies, communities, nations, or even the entire world. When we look towards the outer, we must and should realize that not everyone thinks like us, looks, acts or behaves like us. At the individual level we can think of what makes a family, or our day to day interactions. There are times of great happiness, joys, or times of sadness, resentment and disputes. The same transfers at the macro-level. But the fact is that: human beings, even in their sameness of human need, desires or fulfillment, arrive with differences. 

     Now the differences between should not mean that one should careless, or would not desire the same happiness, fulfillment and desires for those of differences. Because just like gender, or caring for one gender more than another will leave gender development disproportionate, the same is considered for that of populations of difference. Essentially pulling up certain segments of the populations and leaving out others is, and can be deemed harmful. To the conscience of nations, and the conscience at the individual level. It is with the pulling up of each other, through our little tiny acts, personal and professional relations, that we can achieve a greater cohesion at the macro levels. 

    If there is disharmony / discords at the individual levels then of course this transcends to the larger picture. If you think about it - internal disharmony, disruptions are where wars or civil disruption begin, and thus revealed at the external levels. Wars or external disruptions can be prevented right back to the tiny acts, and even our tiny internal thoughts. But it is the pulling up of each other, even in our differences which becomes and remains honorable - to each other, the human, national and even international conscience. As soon as one has been attacked, when one sought to do do good; not only is the hurt caused to the one who deemed goodness, but so too is one who desires to attack. As they refrained from what was sought to be help / assistance for the goodness, for the sake of humanity and human survival. 

​     Everyone benefits when communities, societies, nations, pull each other up. Factors including economic growth, health, education development, socio-economic progress. But the questions remain: Can one be helped even in the state of differences? Without desiring to cause internal disharmony to the one who desired to help another? 

My thoughts to share with love & kindness! :)
