LIFE
(From
my book of Aphorisms- 'Thoughts To Make You Think' By Helen Leigh -

- Chapter One - Personal Development)
Next
time your out, make a conscious effort to take a look at the people
around you, and recognise that they each have lives, things to do,
places to go and be, likes, dislikes, feelings...
...And
when someone cuts you off on the road, and it pisses you off, and you
get angry at that: 'Idiot' or that 'Some - 'Thing' that got in your
way, just remember they still have lives and are still feeling
beings, just like you..
It is
not to say that you shouldn't correct someone who is doing wrong or
could potentially hurt someone, but Objectifying anything, whether it
be a person, or animal, is a kind of numbness that takes away love
and appreciation from your life, it also gives you licence to hurt
another for doing wrong to you, and to not acknowledge that they have
feelings also... This is not the way an evolved person looks at
another.. This is exactly how Wars are made, and how people can kill
one another, how Animals are put in cramped cages and killed
inhumanely..
Through
objectifying there is no remorse or compassion, and without
compassion there is no love, and only where Love is, is where Life
is.
