WE
HAVE ONLY TO REFLECT on mankind’s age-old folly and to look within ourselves to
realize how, collectively and individually, we persist in straying from that
well-known dictum: “Do to others as you would have them do to you;” one
found in the writings of ancient cultures throughout recorded history.
Just as a journey is made one step at a time, so must it be if
we are to break this mad cycle of mutual suffering. It is a moral obligation
for each one of us to honour this simple expression of love and respect for our
fellow-man. Failure to do so is to disavow our own humanity.

“…break this mad cycle of
mutual suffering…”
This
past Thursday evening I visited my friend in the nursing home. Alice was
full of sorrow and needed to share her feelings.
“I’m
a failure,” she said, “…
my unhappy marriage, divorce, and my strained relationship with my daughter for
over forty years... we haven’t spoken in months.“
With
prayerful help from a friend who is a Christian Science Practitioner, Alice is
becoming freed from sorrow. The answer is divine Love. Love
for herself along with abundant loving thoughts for her daughter will free
Alice from heart-wrenching grips of sorrow; this cycle will be broken. blw
