11th Tues with Morrie - 25/11/08 ~ We Talk About Culture

People are inherently good. " People are only mean when they are threatened. Even people who have jobs in our economy are threatened, because they worry about losing them. When one gets threatened, one start looking out only for themselves. They start making MONEY a god. it is part of this culture.

The problem is we dont believe we are as much alike as we are. If we saw each other as more alike, we might be very eager to join in one big family in this world, and to care about that family the way we care about our own.

When one is dying, you see it is true. We all have the same beginning, birth and we all have the same end ~ death. How different can we be ?

Invest in the human family. Invest in people. Build a little community of those you love and who love you. In the beginning of life, when we are infants, we need others to survive. At the end of life, when you are dying, you need others to survive.
