In a universe so vast, we humans are truly the magnificent insignificant. We are phenomenal, but flawed because of our predictable infantile actions. We beings have unlimited potential, unlimited in creating and destroying.
The only limitation I see…is when the ( I ) thinks it can do it all by itself. When it thinks its individual light of special uniqueness out shines everyone else’s.
Illumination is revealing when it shines, and everyone agrees in what they see, any discord in vision is caused by the dullness in light/enlightenment, and will inevitably cast shadows to hide impending chaos…which is brought on by the self-thinking mentality, that has always hindered man.
What do you call a species who knows what it takes to advance, but suffers day in and day out due to a few quote-unquote “special people”? These few may have the means to drive their species to the next check point in evolution but refuses to because of fear, secrecy, egotism, and self righteousness. These people want followers, but are too scared to lead.
Special (in my book), is when life treats other life with mutual respect. It doesn’t try to justify life sacrifices to sustain their on weaknesses. Special is not whining about problems when the solutions are at hand. Special is uplifting and empowering. It recognizes its greatness only when it shares it…not hoard it. Yes, we are special (as in extra-ordinary), but performing deeds to uplift humanity, the Earth and the universes is what defines the alternative definition to Special. Special is when you can tolerate and educate with smiling words, and know that the God in you will prevail…...if you just let it.
