Thanks. I, too, believe that every person on this earth is here to add something. Even those who cause suffering and pain. They, too, are here to allow us the full experience of being human. I mean, we can’t know joy, elation, beauty, love, etc without their constrast.

The great thing about it is that the answers are our own.

We all have a place. And I don’t believe that any of us don’t add something to the mix. Maybe the “doing” is the hard part. But we can’t do much until we figure out what that is.

I’m glad to see someone asking the question. At the very least this gets people thinking… even if they don’t have the answer yet.

I’ll hop over and take a look. I thought GI Joe would be a good reference for people.

Jean,

Ooh…I like that. Thanks so much for sharing it. Have any more goodies you’d like to share?

Amen to that.

I know. Funny that it’s meant to fool a computer and not you. I’m actually not sure it’s necessary considering some of the updates I’ve made to my comment spam.

You’re right. Doing it is the most difficult thing. I know I can name many things I know that I’m not doing that would better my, my family’s and others lives. G.I. Joe used to say that knowing is half the battle. But he never told us that doing is where the war if fought.

Anyway, before we all join hands and start singing Kumbaya here, I can’t help but point out that the REAL challenge in all of this is not in knowing what to do, but it’s actually doing it! Ouch!

Luckily, we have each other for support!!!

I love what you’re saying. It breaks the stereotype of caring about people in a certain way. Incredible, isn’t it?

Thanks so much for joining in the conversation.

Hopefully I can help make someone else’s journey just that much easier.

Looks like we didn’t get enough time at SOBCon together…

I hear you. I was once reading a book of Hadith and saw this gem…

Each person’s every joint must perform a charity every day the sun comes up : to act justly between two people is a charity; to help a man with his mount, lifting him onto it or hoistingd up his belongings onto it is a charity: a good word is a charity, every step you take to prayers is a charity and removing a harmful thing from the road is a charity.

I was highly moved by this statement. Can you imagine a world where we all lived with each joint in our body performing some sort of good deed every day? I figure it begins with me.
