These rules to living the best life are from a pamphlet I put together for one of my classes I was teaching in Korea titled The Best Life. I have converted the pamphlet into an e-book is available here free to download. I will spend the next couple of weeks explaining each of the rules to living The best life that you can possibly live. Apply these in your life and you will become a new person. So, download the e-book and follow along.
What does it really mean to love your neighbor? Is it a phrase Christians use just to look good in front of others or is it more than just a face value statement? On the latter question, true, some evangelical maniacs who really don’t care one way or the other as long as thier needs a supplanted use the phrase but don’t excersie it, but it goes deeper than that.
To be frank, this is not something I really should be telling people about but the way I see people treat each other, it needs to be repeated. I don’t mean go around telling people you love them or visitig the lady next to your house randomly to share your insect collection, you would be wired, but it does mean having a little humanity in you. Yes I said humanity in you, why, because I have seen people treat animals better than they treat each other.
If you saw a stranger suffering on the side of the road would you help them or pass them by?
If the person you live next to was screaming and running down the street, would you help them or let them be? When I asked this question in my self-development class in Korea, the majority of the students said they would help the person living next to them and would be fearful of helping the person on the side of the road. Sadly this is the mentality of many people and pricesly why the world is in the shape that it is in. Fearful of helping the person on the side of the road! What makes you think that your life is more important than theirs? If you have read rule one We are one and have dowloaded my free ebook,The Best Life that outlines the rest of the rules to live a great life, you would do or say differently if faced with a similar question or situation because one way or another, what happens to one of us, happens to all of us.
Let me repeat it again, your neighbor is not just the person living next to you. Your would be a fool to think that. Your neighbor is everyone; the world is your neighbor. The sooner you realize this and start acting like it the better your life will be. Separation from each other and the stupidity of religion to tell people that they are unworthy thus causing more separation, division, fear among other things in order to control people is one of the biggest problems facing the world. Yes, religion is a problem and sadly it is also the solution; the same can be said about alcohol.
I am not here to point fingers or ridicule anyone. If you think I am doing that then look within yourself and see what or who you are defending. Then ask yourself if it is your place to defend that position. I am sick of people riding in their high horses and thinking they are too good to help others or that they are more important than others. So get off your high horse before I shoot it between the legs. The time has always been right for people to be better, but they just refuse to. Wake up. Your neighbor has been there all along, it’s time you start to acknowledge them.
I love hearing what others have to say. Afterall, people are the most important thing anywhere anytime; so what say you?
