The daily hustle consumes us and sucks us into a trance of rituals we perform to attain outcomes that we believe are significant. But unfortunately, some will take this as an opportunity to exert power, abuse, and even destroy what is precious and limited: that is our planet and life.
No other planet is known to sustain life, yet we continue to destroy it through our actions knowingly. At the same time, behaving with little regard for our impact on climate change, what of the small unkind actions and practices exhibited towards our fellow planetary inhabitants, including our kind?
From a broader perspective, we are insignificant in the realm of the universe, yet our role is of utmost significance and well beyond just ourselves.
