BLACK SATURDAY 2009 HAS MADE AN INDELIBLE IMPRESSION ON ME. IT SHOWS HOW FRAGILE OUR ENVIRONMENT IS AND HOW NECESSARY IT IS TO LOOK AFTER MOTHER EARTH
THE ARAPILES IN VICTORIA-AN INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS CLIMBING SPOT
Time has come to end all wars on this planet
Time has come to end all violence everywhere
Time has come to end all criminal activities everywhere
Time has come to end all producing, selling, and using illicit drugs
Time has come for humans not to harm any fellow humans and animals ever again
Time has come to realise that this planet of ours does not have infinite resources. We don't have to wait that long anymore before it is too late.
First and foremost, time has come to spread messages of love world wide. Without love among human beings, the time will come that our earth will no longer be habitable.
Human beings are a peculiar species. In particular:
They pursue earthly possessions above all else. Surely, they realise that nothing is permanent on earth?
Sadly misinformed and not realising that they all share only a little speck in this infinite universe, they continually do their level best to destroy our home planet, exercise racism and excessive territoriality without the slightest regards for the welfare of others, and generally seem to be identified with their thoughts not knowing that thoughts do not represent their personal identity and not necessarily reality either.
They seem to thrive on external power which sets husband against wife, has shaped world economies, creates symbols of this with money, homes, cars etc thus creating a fear of vulnerability, generates hierarchies of social, economic, and political structures that appear as indicators of who has power and who does not.
In my opinion, world wide peace is possible. However, this can only be achieved if a world wide public consciousness prevails where the majority of humans realise that extending unconditional love to everybody is the only way to achieving this. The Greek word for this is: Agape
It has to start somewhere. At a micro level, if one person does a kind and loving deed to another person, the recipient will feel more kindly inclined toward others in turn. I do realise, of course, that my thinking represents a dream of mine. Yet, look at Europe where now a good handful of countries have not fought one another since WW2. That has been achieved without the magical formula with love. How much more can be achieved if people become enlightened everywhere and start applying the DUO principle that in essence says: Do unto others what you would have them do to you.
I have lived and worked in The Netherlands, England, Wales, and naturally Australia. My wife and I have been married since 1964. We live in Victoria, Australia. My hobbies include Reading, Computers, Astronomy, Photography, Bushwalking
