Why All the Drama??!! Does It Matter?!?

Have you ever wondered why we as humans fuss over things that in the big scheme of things, are really not that important? Well, I was reflecting on this and I think if has to do with our understanding of how we fit our society.

Some of us like to think we are just a tiny fish in a giant fish bowl. Everyone else, according to our paradigm, is a giant fish in a vast ocean. But in reality, if we look at these analogies we can see that we are placing ourselves on the same level as the other person, WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT! 

Just think about it! If you are a small fish in a giant fish bowl, then the perimeter of the bowl is the limit to what you can compare yourself to. The same is with the fish in the vast ocean. The vastness of the ocean is the limit to which the fish can compare itself to. So keep that in mind.

Now, lets talk about how our perception of ourselves and our environment in which we dwell. If the place in which we dwell is our limit to how we view ourselves and other things; then why do we as a society and as individuals rant/rave over diverse issues, that might not even remotely be in the limits of our paradigm? Is it because humans like causing conflict? Do we rant and rave over political, economical, scientific, religious, issues because we need attention? Do we seek approval? 

In the vast array of things happening in the world and particularly IN OUR NATION, I think these are important questions to reflect on. Everyday, as we go about our lives, we get involved in things that are important to us and that we feel can make an impact. On the news we see and hear about things that have happened/going to happen all over the world and we form opinions about those events or get emotionally involved. 

Is there a point? is this just a cycle of being? Are we just making a bunch of hot air come out of our mouths? or are we actually making a difference and reforming the world? So during this week, month, year, I challenge you to reflect on these questions/thoughts and see what your spirit tells you. Is it time for humanity to take a collective "step back" from the issues of the world and reshape our paradigms? Are we being real to ourselves and to our global community? 

Peace and love sent your way always! 

And remember, if you can't do anything else....SPREAD JOY AND LOVE! 

Peace,
