In the course of human humblings, it becomes the responsibility of sane souls near and far to pose the blessed question: “What is truly important?”
Without pursuing this answer, we are soon bumbling, fumbling and stumbling our way to utter dissatisfaction, leaving us…well, grumbling.
Unfortunately, the answer to “what is truly important?” can not be derived by forming a committee. Committees critically over-analyze, dismiss with no resolution, to sip bitter coffee and crunch day-old Danish.
Some brave individuals seek solution in politics–but anything that has to be voted on can be controlled by either buying off the voter or fooling the electorate.
Pious souls across the globe go to prayer, asking God to bring solutions, believing their praise is sufficient involvement. But as most of us find out, God rarely does a one-man show. He works with an unrehearsed cast on an available stage.
I guess some people believe money is the most important thing in the world because it can buy the things we want, which keeps us from feeling in need. Yes–we are scared to death of being without. But then we encounter those souls who possess it all, who end up feeling they have nothing.
What is really important?
What is the reason for us to still be here in the midst of a common struggle for a common good?
For we do find some things to be self-evident.
Since God created us all, we have a common Father. It is a good place to start.
Since science and Mother Nature are at work in our world, there is much we can learn about ways to get along just by studying the atmosphere around us.
But it is the territory within our three square feet–where we live, breathe, eat, think and wrestle with our own appetites–that determines our true sense of worth.
So what is really important?
- Find what you can do.
- Do it well.
- Let other people do the same.
- Help out where you can.
Like so many solutions, it may seem simple and inadequate to cover the variety of conflict that threatens us. But when you look it again, you will grasp its scope.
Wisdom begins with knowing what is important:
This is what I can do. I will work on doing it better. I will give you the freedom to do the same. And if something comes up within my ability, I will try to help out.
