Remembrance Day

May all those Warriors that gave their sacrifice and learnt some hard lessons, be honoured today. I don't condone War at all but I simply see all the lessons that humanity learns as valid in our spirits unfolding and enlightenment. Wado.

Why is this any different?

Imagine you are walking down the street and a person dressed in rags, maybe pushing a shopping cart and perhaps having a bit of a smell, comes up to you and asks if you could spare some change for various reasons.

Now Imagine you are walking down the street and the same thing happens, ONLY the person is a very well dressed and clean and sober mature woman.

Would your action towards each person change because of their outer shells? Why? Do you feel responsible for what a person does with the money you give? Why do you? It's a simple question..."can you spare some change?" I don't own the recipients life or feel that I am responsible for his or her path so what difference does it make?

Perhaps the lesson of people living on the street, besides the major obvious ones, are that we all learn a lesson towards ourselves when confronted...assumptions, superficiality, condescension, classisms, ego,humility...it is all there folks.
