Prayers of Hope

Some of the behaviors that I see people of all ages exhibiting are very disturbing. An example of these behaviors include: teenages filming themselves conducting unspeakable acts, adults rigging stunts to become famous, conservative groups attacking alternative lifestyles in the name of God and the inhumane treatment of animals for a variety of profit-making ends.

In every one of these examples, education might have been the one action that would have prevented the original exploit from taking place. What kind of society are we to allow such behaviors to become the norm? By putting aside your judgments and educating yourself on a variety of topics, you can be the one who makes a difference for an entire population of people.  

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"Lack of understanding does not excuse poor behavior." tc

Ripple Effect

A spider's web is one of my 'Seven Wonders of the World."  The spider uses delicate, silken thread to weave together a spectacular masterpiece of impact. The spider can sit for days waiting for a fly or bug to encounter his domain. When another insect lands in the web, the harmonic frequency or vibration of the thread, signals the spider that he has a guest. How the spider treats his guest will determine his health for that day.
How we treat the people who enter our domain, also creates a vibration or harmonic sound.  If we are kind and loving, most people will respond similarly.  However, if we are rude or abrasive, the ripple effect of our tone will carry forward impacting more than just the target of our projection.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"Our lifestyles may be different but our lives are interwoven to enrich our experiences and help us grow." tc
