As the saying goes, "if you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem." There is enough natural trouble in the world without adding to it. There is much suffering due to incurable diseases. Multitudes are homeless. Natural disasters are common and when they happen people often find that they have lost everything that they own.
Most of us feel empathy towards those who are suffering. What do we do about it? Do we look away? Do we continue to cause more suffering with divisions and strife over trifling things? Do we insist on our own way even when that way is damaging to others as well as the world around us?
If we can't get along well enough to be part of the solution; then we are a part of the problem.
Be compassionate and kind, serving one another with humility. That might be a good start to having less suffering in the world.
God's Peace - Pr. J
