| Prompt: Be kind to everything that lives. Native American Proverbs Write about this in your Blog entry today. --- Being kind to everything that lives goes far beyond altruism or moral duty. It's also knowing about and recognizing the interconnectedness of all life. For example, some time ago, I ate an avocado but although its flesh was perfect, the large seed inside it had burst and was producing several roots. I thought, if this seed was something that wanted to live that much, it should be given a chance. So I planted it in a pot. In a few months, it outgrew its pot and became as tall as I am. My son, then, planted it outside, and now, I'm crossing my fingers for it to live. It seems not to like where it is and although we water and feed it, it looks sickly. I'll see how it goes. I think being kind to everything alive has to do with our relationship with this planet. It means being good to animals, wild or domesticated, and conserving out natural resources. Also, being kind to everything that lives has to do with our relationships with other humans. It means showing empathy, kindness, and respect for all people regardless of differences in culture, background, or beliefs. - |
