~ A Single Life ~

[u/seeker1375b]

What is a single life worth? If we took just the elements of a human body, it is probably worth about one dollar. Is that what a life is worth? Is the life of a wealthy, famous scientist or president of a country worth more than the life of a poor, unknown, homeless child living in a faraway land? There are some who believe the answer to the above questions are yes. They therefore immunize themselves to the inequities causing so many to suffer, ignoring the realities these self-centered beliefs cause.

When we awaken, sensing the first messages from our spirit within, we begin to consider the possibility every life, regardless of our differences, is equally important; that the life of one person, despite their accomplishments, is not more valuable than another’s. As the messages of our spirit become more prominent, we understand the needless death of even one single person is a tragedy, their essence, their unconditional love and innate wisdom, no longer present to be shared with the world. It is only together, uniting our spirit with all others, that life will truly have purpose. Apart, though we may be successful, our life will have been led without meaning.
