living together....or not!

"Nothing in the universe exists alone.  Every drop of water,

every human being, all creatures in the web of life and all ideas in the web of knowledge are part of an immense, evolving dynamic whole as old and as young as the universe itself."

quote from narrator in the movie "symbiosis"

I continue to be amazed at the universe

and

am often taken back

at the way we are so connected to

the world,

the atmosphere,

to nature

and

to each other.

Most often in my idealistic way of thinking,

I think of us--we humans---living in some form of

symbiotic relationship with each other and

with the world around us....

helping each other, nourishing each other,

growing each other into our unique Divine self.

However, ever so often,

I am reminded that while many elements in the world do live in a symbiotic interconnected relationship....

while some are

striving

to live and breath and model the

"golden rule"

treating others like we'd like to be treated,

giving more often than receiving,

well

I forget...

not everyone wants to share the pie...some

want the whole damn pie for themselves--they will pretend to share theirs until....well something else suites them better

Egos...

they evolve,

feeding the

psyche,

building an altar-ego

of selfish power hungry

individuals

who

will

feed off of,

steal off of,

suck the very life out of,

anyone

or

anything

that gets in the way of their next

move up the hierarchical chain...

parasites...that's what they...human ones.

they only do what benefits themselves

makes themselves look better,

use other's creative energy,

to

impact their own agenda.

I have a problem with parasites...

and

am learning

ever so slowly

how to identify

and

rid myself of

them.

I love egalitarian

systems,

ever how idealistic they appear,

where everyone uses their own unique gifts for the good of the whole

 --some would call me a socialist----

I want a world where everyone 

works for the betterment of the whole,

who

allows the

unselfish love

to beat inside them

and ooze out to change the world

one

person,

one community at a time...

I am learning

how to identify

the parasites

and

learning

ever so slowly in my almost fifty year old way of learning

to

get rid of the ones who suck the life out of me.

okay...I'm a slow learner...

but I'm still learning...old puppies....especially sexy hot one's like myself.....can and do still learn.

We are connected..all of us...even the parasites

in some weird kind of way...

but

it is okay

to

move on

if

our relationships are not mutually symbiotic....

We can

rid our self of

power hungry,

blood thirsty,

parasites,

even if they never know--never grow beyond their carnivorous ways--

 we know that's what they are.....

and

I

we

will be all the better for making the choice...

the symbiotic choice

and leaving the parasites behind to find their new host.

happy Saturday...

blessings and hugs....

be good to yourself.
