Dear friends, readers, and fellow bloggers,

Apologies for being away for so long. I am trying to catch up once again now that life and circumstances are slowly getting into the correct perspective. Today's post is about caring for others and being kind to others not for any other reason but the most basic, connection and forming a relationship with species of our own kind, Humans. In this fast-paced, technology-driven, materialistic world we often need to label relationships to be able to make sense of what we need to put into it, right? When was the last time you found yourself doing something for someone out of pure compassion, kindness or sincere consideration? You want to do those things but you worry about what people will think in fact even what might the receiver think, right? Is there a thing like a sincere consideration I wonder? In a world where everyone is juggling multiple jobs, chores, complex emotions, an abundance of information, who has the time for compassion. You suffice with giving your seat to an elderly woman in the subway or thinking that you are being kind if you help a blind man cross the street. We often do things that may not even be desired by someone to make our lives feel better. How did we get here? We are a part of the larger ecosystem that has so much diversity and room for every kind of variety of species. When did we start calculating which species is the best or on top of the hierarchy? Why do we feel it's important to know that we are on top of the food chain?
What good have we done by being on top of the food chain anyway? We have exploited the earth and its resources to an extent that our own species are endangered. To sum it up Human beings are selfish and only live in a pretense of trying to be better when we are not even close to trying.
