When I meet people in different parts of the word, I am always reminded that we are all basically alike: we are all human beings. Maybe we have different clothes, our skin is of a different color, or we speak different languages. This is on the surface. But basically, we are the same human beings. That is what binds us to each other. That is what makes it possible for us to understand each other and to develop friendship and closeness.... Because we all share this small planet earth, we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. That is not just a dream, but a necessity.

Re: This Small Planet Earth
Fri, January 18, 2008 - 12:35 AMWe must understand the two ways we are free to follow, as we
choose- the positive way or the negative way….the spiritual way or
the material way. It’s our own choice--each of ours and all of ours.
You yourself are the one who must decide. You alone---and only
you--can make this crucial choice. Whatever you decide is what
you’ll be, to walk in honour or to dishonour your relatives. You
cant escape the consequences of your own decision------
Yes, on your own personal decision---depends the fate of the entire
World.
We are the only species destroying Mother Earth!
You must decide. You cant avoid it. Each of us is put here in this time
and this place to personally decide the future of humankind.
Did you think the Creator would create unnecessary people in a time
of such terrible danger?
My Grandmother once told me to understand that every person can have
a good heart, a heart big enough to change the world! She said the Great
Spirit wouldn’t give us something we couldn’t handle!
Know that you yourself are essential to this world. Believe that! Understand
both the blessing and the burden of that. You yourself are desperately needed
to save the soul of this World.
Did you think you were put here for something else?
