Food for Thought

I strongly believe in a purpose that is backed by action, for words are meaningless without them. In life, Carlyle Thomas writes, "The purpose of man is in action not thought." In love, Deepak Chopra writes, "Love without action is meaningless and action without love is irrelevant."


We are all blessed by the same loving God with so much love and life. Sadly, we often take for granted the things that matter most. We stray farther and farther from the path towards the Light as we exhaust means to hoist ourselves up the pedestal. So many people act foolishly, hypocritically, self-righteously, and stumble those around them believing they alone know the right path. They claim to be so many things and yet they fall short on proving what they actually mean. They lay on the platter self-serving rules and principles, and yet they know not to hear other people.


Mohandas K. Gandhi once said, "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." Some people dare say they will not "stoop down to the level of other people" because they feel so mighty and proud. You may find them prancing around like kings and queens over the heads of those they care not about. What kind of principles are they upholding exactly?
