Simple Acts Of Kindness

“Choose well, your choice is brief and yet endless.” ~ Goethe

We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.
- Albert Einstein

I just saw the movie Sharkwater today. It is immensely inspiring and heartwrenching. I cannot even explain how I feel when any other living thing inflicts unnecessary pain on another.
Humans are the worst of all, feeding our nonsense beliefs and power stroking our egos into thinking we have the greatest rights above all others, and even then, above each other in our own species. It is not only sickening, it is foolish.
What we dont realize as we let each day slip through our fingers, as we ravenously hunt down consumables, as we focus so intently on owning the perfect hourglass; is that we’re tossing the sand to the side. The sand that is our morals, the basis of our foundation, what we mix with the mortor of emotions to build our legacies. Our integrity, our substance, what our children will respect us for….or at the rate we are destroying everything we touch, most likely hate us for.
Sharks are the Keepers of Balance of the Deep. They are ancient guides who by their very nature help our world to evolve. They cause other animals to adapt and become more efficient in their survival and they keep the numbers in balance.
Since the Shark fin trade has become such a money maker for some, these wonderfully misunderstood creatures are being hacked alive and dumped back into the oceans to settle to the bottom of the deep, turning their homes into their graves. Doesn’t make it very appealling to go swimming on a tropical vacation, but then neither does swimming amongst the millions of jellyfish that are now popping up everywhere. Everything in life needs balance.
It is so sad when we destroy things simply because we don’t understand. Our ignorance is killing all of us. So if that miniscule number of people who actually do get bit by sharks (less than car accidents or MUCH less than the starvation we impose on our fellow humans) have anything to say. My reply is, “Karma’s a Bitch”

Check out Sharkwater and learn more about whats happening to these amazing creatures today!

Make a difference and HELP save the sharks from extinction.

Quote of the Day - Thomas Huxley - “It is not who is right, but what is right, that is of importance.”

I remember a time not long ago that I was walking to work in Gastown. I was late and rushing. I saw a older man, kinda scruffy looking, he was on the corner trying to pull himself up on the telephone pole and was having quite some difficulty.
I mean he was really struggling.
I remember everyone just rushing by and caught up in my haste I rushed by too. I was about 10 steps past and I thought,
“What am I doing? This isn’t me. If I get in trouble from my employer
if I stop and help someone I wouldn’t want to work for them anyway.”

I went back and asked him if he was ok and if I could help.
The man was a diabetic, his blood sugar was so low he was close to slipping into a coma.
He was panicking to save his life and no one would pay him any mind.
All he needed was an orange juice.
That’s it, some juice.

I don’t like to think about what might have happened if I didn’t stop. Not having passed a test of life.
I especially don’t think to think of all the times we haven’t stopped to help someone who might have needed so little when it meant so much.

Take care of each other….
