Open Our Eyes

Do you know what bugs me? I am tired of people loosing priority. My self especially. When you ask yourself what is the most important thing to you, what is your answer? Is it sports, is it playing, is it friends, religion, and etc... I am not sure what the most important thing to me is right now, but I know the most important thing should be. I think that it is the other people around us. We neglect those around us so often. We are thoughtless of their feelings and we are forgetful of their want and needs. They are what really matter. We spend so much time wishing we were somewhere else or wanting to know about the celestial cosmos. We look so much at what is around us that we loose sight of who is around around us. We need to look to them first. We need to see them for who they are and try and help them best we can. Mankind with all its intellect and knowledge cannot free ourselves from our worst vices. We are continually making life harder for those around us and therefore making life harder for ourselves. Why do we do that? What driving force is so powerful that it causes us to be greedy and forget those we love and those who need help? I am definitely a sufferer from these problems of man. If everyone could forget themselves as an individual and remember themselves as a race of all man and all creation the world would never be the same. We would not have wars. We would not have hunger. We would not have the pain of suffering earth beneath our feet. We ask ourselves why the Lord would let such things happen, and why there is evil in the world. What we should ask is why does man let such things happen? Why cant we ascend to a level of living where we see the earth and its resources not as mine but as ours? When will we stop causing the pain and the suffering of others for the momentary pleasure of ourselves? When will we forget ourselves and see humanity.
