Taking action. (A)

    There are many things that we do that determine the course of our life. No matter what it may be whether of a spiritual nature or simply to carry your life as a civilized human being. We all have a tug-of-war tried to do the very best we can, even if we know that is not our 100%. I always believe that trying is far more better than not trying at all. We look at ourselves and we see what we can do by way of compassion, charity, righteousness, loving, and even being respectful. But these are all aspect of our emotion and passion, and sometime these aspect will behave in a animal incident, instead of our human incident.

    So then we all have to learn through many sources the different between right and wrong. Some of them we learned from our parents and other would learn from spiritual teacher or philosopher. Even though we learned to control our animal passion and seek for the highest wisdom, and all that is well intended. We all contemplate and wonder if there is one key element that it would take us through our life, and we would take with us in the spiritual world.
And that one thing would be the action that we take. You all probably wondering that would be the obvious answer. But I have seen people that despise the wisdom and that they have in their good intention, that their actions sometime do not justify what they do. Each step that we take and each word that is spoken, and each thought that we think require some action that we take. To give you an example of what I'm trying to say let me tell you a story. There was a man working at a newsstand and his name was George. One morning a man came up and ask him if he can help him. He explain to George that he got locked out from his house and he needs some change to call someone to help him get back into the house. George took a look at the man he saw that he had messy hair and had one of the shoes with duct tape keeping the shoe from falling apart and his pants tear in different places. So he decided to help him and gave him a dollar in quarters. That afternoon a gentleman came up to him and asking if he can help him. He explained that he got locked out of his BMW and he would appreciate it if he can give him some change to call for a tow truck. George took a look at the man and saw that he had a pair of brand-new shoes and that he was well dressed. So he decided to help him, and gave them a quarter so he can make the call.

    Taking a look at this story George did help the two men that came up to him that day. So one would say his action was good because he did help to people in need. But he also took action in judging people by their appearance. When George did not realize that the 1st man was not locked out of his house, but use that as an excuse to ask for money. While the 2nd man was working for the company that transport car from one place to another and needed to call his friend the had a tow truck to help him out, so he will not get fired. Of course, George had no way of knowing this, but if you're going to help someone do it because you want to help someone. In this story there is are a lot of "what if" but you cannot go through life thinking of "what if" and not take any action.

    Throughout our life wisdom may come and go, and philosophy also may come and go. But when we take action those stay with us forever. It is so easy to let our passion dictate our action, but is far difficult to take the time and think before we take action. The things that we do with our emotion has very little value and they don't last long, but the thing we think through has greater value and last for ever.

Before leaving any common please take a look at the important note to the right.

Bless you all and be well.
