Dinah, you are too kind, as always :) I hope I'm doing my part. That's my constant struggle. That I'm not doing enough. That I'm too self-involved. That I'm too money hungry.
But, I just realized that change doesn't have to occur on a large scale to still make a difference. I'm doing what I'm capable of, even though I still should be doing more. I jsut fear becoming involved in organizations, as they tend to also be self-involved or sometimes too radical. But, I don't need to be involved in an organization to make change happen. I'm going at it alone, and making progress. And that feels so wonderful to finally "*REALIZE*" that I am doing something everyday to make this world a better place, even if it is only through smiles or laughter.
Wow!!! I feel like I just woke up! I can finally see my goal in front of me. WOWSA!!!
<I've always liked the idea that we were placed here on earth to each do our part to help perfect the world.
* Me too! That's why I am not striving to become affiliated with certain religious organizations. I like to watch mass, and listen to teachings, but as a bistander. So I can take in the people around me and learn customs. I don't find "believing" for me to be nearly as important as learning new lessons in life. Just because I don't believe something, doesn't make it wrong to still be curious as to how others react to hearing the "news" and doing rituals. I'm fascinated with it. Only because I LOVE the fact that people have faith in something! That's truly wonderful!Please don't redirect Bob!!! That's all I'll say about the matter and I really want this to stay on social as I feel I can get more responses and input here... Thanks... You're a good guy Bob, have I told you that lately? Thank you again for this board.
