Ripples In The Pond

Have you ever noticed that when you stick your finger into a pond that it affects the entire pond. The ripple caused by your finger in one small spot in the pond sends ripples over the entire pond thereby changing it. Our lives are like the finger and existence is like the pond. When you enter the world, you are "poking your finger in the pond". The world will never be the same again because every thing you do from birth alters existence. Every time you do anything at all, you are making the entire world change, to some degree. The question is, are you making it change for the better, or worse. The future of the world is based on what you do, and what I do, and what everyone else does. When too many people do negative things and think negative thoughts, hatred, and wars break out. When people think positive thoughts and do positive things, peace and love breaks out. Make sure that your "finger poking" makes the world a better place.

It's All Just Dirt

A friend and I were watching as a man was polishing, and fondling, his new bright red sports convertible. He obviously was in love with the car as he couldn't take his eyes off it. This got me to thinking about "things". I came to the conclusion that "things", like sports cars, mansions, yachts, flat screen television, space shuttles, Iphones, grand pianos, skyscrapers, ocean liners, buttons, everything on this earth is basically, and fundamentally, dirt. That man's sports car was just a pile of dirt, with some imagination thrown in. All life on Earth is just dirt, with some of God's imagination thrown in. The only resource to build anything out of on Earth is dirt (generic term "dirt", which refers to minerals). Everything on Earth is dirt + imagination, either God's, or man's, or both. Anything we can imagine, we can build out of this dirt. Everything starts out, and ends up, as dirt. So don't take it so badly when you see someone with a bigger pile of dirt than you. After all, it's only dirt.
