The Human Being Isn’t an Island but a Community
We wouldn’t be what we are without others fulfilling their parts or playing their roles. Our unknown or unspoken heroes are those who are connected to our success, safety, security, and well-being. Minimize not the unrewarded or unnumerable roles that others have played for you to be here. Never downplay other’s unclassified or classified assistance to your upward trajectory. Who can rise all alone and be great by self-effort even without remembering the teacher or nurse or caregiver or bus driver or the cook who was there for them? Helping those in need is like thanking the universe for being there for you. Fortune means more to those who can define it better. Humanity or society is the quantum dust that makes your success or that has protected and guaranteed your wellbeing. We owe to others – those without faces or names. Wouldn’t you even be grateful for the air that you breathe or for the night and day that has marked your time or for the birds, fishes, animals, vegetation, and plants that have guaranteed your nutrients, medicine, and energy of existence? Has the human being never been a day in itself or life alone without humans, nature, or something by its side to assist, care, or provide comfort to its being? Be thou grateful even for nothing as long as you live. Be generous to say thank you and quick to appreciate what others, humanity, nature, or the unknowns have done to you. The human being is not an island but a community of humanity, nature, and Cosmos. More blessings cometh if you appreciate what you have. Debt wasn’t owed to you – it’s the gratitude you owe others. You turn on and off the switch because somebody made it possible. The bed you sleep on, the streets you walk by, the road you drive or ride on, the infrastructures or architectures, or institutions or systems that you were born into or live and operate in or rise and fall in were not solely designed by thee alone without the expertise, contribution or sweats of others. It’s not the pay sometimes that really matters, but the genuine appreciation that does. If you can’t genuinely reflect on those who were on the way of thy journey, then the happy times of life might not have been registered or remembered correctly. Never be ashamed to say thank you. Thankfulness says a lot about the person wearing that character. Those who remember the goodness of others have a larger expansion of Positive Happy Memories (PHM). The mouth can refuse or denigrate the contributional help of others, but the conscience can’t. Guilty is a reminder from the conscience sometimes for the human being to be good and honest or grateful even to the little person or to the arch of the Positive Causality Universe (PCU). When you look back, you can only conclude that humanity and the world were there for you – one way or the other. Sometimes, it’s not the numbers that matter but the efforts. Open thy mind in thy days of self-absorption to remember the selfishness of others that contributed to thy success. Saying thank you has never hurt those expecting it. Some have stolen from others to be where they are; some have used and misused the shoulders of others to be where they are, some have hurt or disenfranchised or discriminated or exploited, or abused or mistreated others or took advantage of others to be where they are in life. Some have even corrupted themselves to the top. In the end, some either legally or illegally, morally or amoral, intentionally or unintentionally or willingly or unwilling, or knowingly or unknowingly were once there for thee when you needed them. Ignoring and dismissing or disregarding or disparaging the minimal or miniscule contribution of others can be the curse of our self-destruction. Remember to give back as a thankful gesture of gratefulness. Remember to go back and ask for forgiveness to those you have hurt or unduly exploited or disadvantaged. Asking for genuine forgiveness will build bridges. Life has positively given to you to give back. Independence, self-determination, do it yourself, or self-reliance is fundamentally rooted or can’t be without the help, efforts, or inventive or improvised contribution of the works of others. The human being is never an island but the community of humans helping and assisting one another in their own professional or little ways. We bruised our way to the top or competed viciously to win or betrayed others to our ascend. But such is life if we acknowledged how we got to where we are recognizing our trespasses, transgressions, aggression, or double dealings to be remorseful, appreciative, and thankful to the ladders of opportunities given to us at the expense of others. Charity will go a long way to cleanse the erroneous or mistaken deeds of a man or woman. For selfishness or survival or greed, humans will falter or ignore the “do no wrong” clause. They will stretch the limits, break rules, knock knees – just to get to the top, get what they want, or seek financial, economic, or societal security. Still, when you look back, go straighten that which you have broken or build the bridges and minds you destroyed or heal the hearts you have injured. There is always a chance and space to be better, to recompense, to seek forgiveness, and to be truly human. You’re never alone in thy journey of restoration, rehabilitation, or regrowth, or rejuvenation. If life is a contest, be the first to say thank you. Be the first to hug, for that in itself might be all that is needed. And when you do, be genuine. Gratefulness is mighty.Be grateful and generous to humanity. You are human, remember? Humans were there at your beginning and shall be there at your last. Strangers were there helping at your birth and shall one day be there at your graveside or help give back your ashes to the universal cosmos. The mystery of life is not forgetting the Positive Connective Intelligence Contribution (PCIC) of others or the foundational stones laid by others, or the road maps of Positive Connective Continuity (PCC) of those who have come before us. We owe the Earth a debt that must be repaid. Earth was given to us and shall one day be graciously taken away from us – for we are something more – the seed or quantum dust of the Positive Infinity. Be grateful – for thou are of the Multiversal Intelligence Gene Code (MIGC). Be thankful to the Cosmos.
Life is real because of others. Minimize not the stranger you see along the way – for they might be there when those you know and expected aren’t. It cost nothing to be grateful. Ego and narcissism is that which closes the door of the most high or see the being tumble to the valley that deep. Humble thyself and swim in humanity with humility and gratefulness. Isn’t gratefulness the flourishment of blissfulness? Only God built the universe alone – anybody else needed help, assistance or the contribution or expertise of others. You’re the vital sign of humanity. Be the Connective nerve of humans. Be the positive algorithms of the future. Be the brain behind human connectivity. Be the network and medium of communication. Be the current and currency.
