As I was explaining last week, I have a daily prayer routine and I've been praying for the evolution and healing of the human species. I have four areas that I focus on, the removal of the veils of ignorance, greed, rankism, and isolation. Let's discuss the second area.
Greed. Whew, that's a big one. What would the removal of that look like? For starters, if we overcame greed, we would not see happiness as something that we can buy. We would use some of our money to help others. Food kitchens and homelessness could be eradicated. People would not be so driven to drive themselves to work so much in order to buy the latest thing and would learn to enjoy the moment more.
Workers would be paid living wages because corporations would not pay the upper echelons so much. Companies would focus on offering products that are safe and healthy, as opposed to being addictive or frivolous.
Oil companies would close because their leaders finally understand that the welfare of their grandchildren's planet is more important than the next quarter's company profits.
People would treat our Mother Earth with reverence, as opposed to an expendable resource that we can strip and trash at will.
I'm sure those are just a small sampling of what could be accomplished if we were to conquer greed. That's definitely something to pray for. Will you join me?
