Unaware

We spend a lifetime unaware of the consequences of what we do, think and believe have on others. Worse yet, we often don't care.

Like the famous butterfly who's wing movement create a storm on the other side of the world (cliche or not, it's a powerful story), we talk, judge, decide, act and freely share our opinion without thinking of their consequences (I wonder if I'm not doing that as I write this...)

Thoughts are things, so what we think, even without saying it, has consequences.

The simple fact of being leads to consequences.

The question is what type of consequence would we like to create in our own lives? Most of us focus on the positive of course. Who wants to make the world worse than it was when we were born? Don't answer that. Am sure some do. But most of us prefer to leave it a better place.

And it can only start by controlling our thoughts, or training our thinking so that it results in such a world...and the hardest job in the world is to think, the second, to think for good.
