Among the many conundrums to our lives is trying to live in the midst of opposites. Sunshine and storms...success and failure...happy times and tragic times. Consider the awards season glitter in Hollywood just a 6 hour flight away from the graves in Haiti. You can't help feeling a little guilty...!
But guilt is the wrong feeling. From Hollywood to our own telephone, we try to ease the guilt by making donations. And that's fine, however, there's a better way of co-existing with tragedies. Try preventing new ones.
Here's a vision and a mission that can be accomplished right in our own backyards. In our homes, our communities, our jobs, our circle of friends. If there are earthquake rumblings there of anger or jealousy or discrimination or misunderstanding -- well, roll up your sleeves, and see if you can't dig them out of the wreckage of these lives. Now before it's too late like in Haiti.
