WHY TO CARRY RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WHOLE
Taking care of the whole is an important part of moral.
CARRYING RESPONSIBILITY about important matters
The voice of one's heart is echoed by thousands, millions and billions other similar voices. Each a variation of the same theme, of life's song.
All eyes that I could have had, had I lived at another age in another environment with another history of life entirely another kind of life. Like I am alike to a tree, am I alike to an animal, to everyone of you. Some rouse to their full lenght, some stayed small, evil, ununderstanding of the life's great secret. I am part of the whole, the whole is a part of me. Without it I cannot rise to my full height. With it I am part of the great secret, of the greatest happiness.
The famous talk of the indian chief Seattle has made a great impression on me.
It talks of things which need a great emphazis in our pictures of the world:
"All things are bound together. All things connect.
What happens to the Earth, happens to the children of the Earth.
Man has not woven the web of life. He is but one thread of it.
Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself."
In my homecountry Finland we have a saying: "We are in the same boat."
The same thing happening to all of the group.
So the fate of the group is a thing to care about a lot.
We are in the "boat" of the human kind and of the living kind.
So we have to take care that the world goes to a good direction for us all,
to a direction that is sustainable in the long run.
The whole and what happens to it, is worth taking into account,
since the whole affects a lot one's life.
(like a ship going somewhere)
compare to the economic situation of a country and how it affects people's lives.
The standard of living in a country affects life much more than what an individual can gain by stealing. 150 years ago 10% of the population of Finland in Europe died of starvation. Now that is long past, without help from other nations, just with the help of good local moral, justice and honesty. Each family has a TV, warm home, lots of food, books, free schooling, most a car or two, most a CD player, radio, computer, phone, most a mobile phone etc. That much one cannot gain by stealing: honesty as a custom pays much much better!
The value of rules of behaviour: cultivating something
Since we are social beings,
the effect of a single individual
to the behaviour of the whole group
is often much much larger than one tends to imagine at first sight.
"Each piece of land is part of a continent.
Whenever a piece of land is lost, the continent becomes smaller.
So never send to ask, for whom the bell tolls: the bell tolls for thee." (Hemingway?)
CARRY RESPONSIBILITY!
My soul is divided to millions, billions, trillions parts, to each living being. Some of them form groups, my soul goes with them. Some wander alone and I watch and help them on their way if I only can.
What makes me happy, makes others happy too. So much we are alike. When I seek personal fullfillment, I do something that others can follow in their lives and so I help to lead the world toward good. That's so because I am moral. Good moral means supporting the Gaia's way to live.
