Think About It

A lot of people think the world owes them somethings. This isn't an obvious belief. I've never seen anyone running down the street, screaming at the world to hand over their dues. However, it's a part of the psyche of today's society. This psyche has lead to this ingrained idea that good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. That's simply not the case (The exception being the mindset of "good" and "bad" people. Mindset and perspective is everything). I'm going to let you in on a secret.

The world owes you nothing.

After all, what have you done for the world? That is the real question. The concern should not be over what the world owes you, but over what you owe the world. Be kind to the planet that houses you. At this point, we only have one. Not only should you be kind to the planet, but be kind to her children, be they four-legged, two-legged, or finned. 

Try this perspective on for size: What if the world was not made to take care of you? What if you were made to take care of the world?

Think about it.

  1. I know this is a concept we talk about in class frequently, but I've never heard anyone say it so completely. Your post was a little humorous and very insightful.

    I wish I could just reblog all of your blogs. You make an interesting read, Aimee. :o)
