Earth’s Best Hope 3: Heaven

As a man thinks, so he is.
— Proverbs 23:7

An easy way to defeat others is to get them fighting among themselves. In this way, an enemy never risks casualties or expense. All thatโ€™s required to destroy a group, a community, a country, even a family, is bickering that alienates. Some form of fear is often the fuel [False Evidence Appearing Real].

The Second Amendment says well-regulated militias could arm themselves to preserve freedom. That language has been re-interpreted so that Americans can easily buy military-style weapons and kill other Americans. Did you know that there were fourteen mass shootings during the Fourthย of July weekend? Thirteen werenโ€™t widely reported because the national news couldn’t cover them all.ย Washington Postย ย [Seems no outsiders need to attack US anymore.]

Shouldnโ€™t child bearing be a topic that brings US together? As stated inย Succeed and Soar’sย โ€œSeek Quality Lifeโ€ Post,ย wouldnโ€™tย We the peopleย be better off focusing on birthing babies who are well cared for, educated and can flourish?

Shouldnโ€™tย We The Peopleย require that leaders unite US in making this country [with its extraordinary diversity] what Abraham Lincoln called, โ€œthe last best hope of earth?โ€ ย How can the epidemic outbreaks of hate-speech, fear-mongering, stingy, intolerant, boorish behavior be cured so thatย We the peopleย realize Lincolnโ€™s vision of US asย a second Eden?

Individually, in your own life, create a little heaven on Earth.

  • Perform a heroic deed daily [a random act of kindness]
  • Be generous and encouraging
  • Create beauty
  • Seek uplifting people and experiences
  • Cultivate wholesome, healthy environments
  • Continue learning
  • Pause, allow several daysย of self nurturing and refreshment each month
  • Be honest and fair
  • Insist that those who govern US lead by these examples

Remember,

What you believe and focus on becomes your reality.
โ€“ Michael McMillan
Our focus is our future, and what we focus on will multiply.
— David DeNotaris
