In judging others;
Mother Teresa said, "If you judge people, you don't have time to love them." If we are quick to pass judgment on others, we forget that they, like us, are human beings. As we seldom know what roads people have traveled before a shared encounter or why they have come into our lives, we should always give those we meet the gift of an open heart. Doing so allows us to replace fear-based criticism with appreciation because we can then focus wholeheartedly on the spark of good that burns in all human souls.

No life on Mars
It's very rare when you read about something that causes you to wanna change your whole system of beliefs, and go on a whole different path that would have been completely foreign before. I was reading an article about Global Warming, like many others knew vaguely about it and the "threat" it imposed. The solutions are hard, but not as hard as the problem itself. The problem is kinda small, if you consider a planet that is completely underwater, small. I'm welcome to ideas and thoughts on this subject as i wanna find out more and do my part in preserving this planet and to help save the environment and keep it as clean as possible.
Being lazy and relying on oil for everything has to stop. Alternative fules are around and have been.... for a while. But it's just too hard to get the a-holes in congress to stop supporting them because we all know they take the money from highest bidder, and agriculture doesn't pay as well as the "big Boys".and they also likely won't wake up to the fact that they are dooming our country and planet because - shortsightedness. Just like voting, people think what's their one vote gonna do? It probably never occur to them that if enough people voted based on the ideas the candidates support, then the one who's idea is like yours will be in office and will make changes.
The problem is enough people aren't aware of the environment or take the issue of "well what's done is done, or one person can't change anything" attitude. But think about it, one person can, look at what Rosa Parks did, or Abraham Lincoln for that matter. They stood up for what is right and even though many objected they prevailed. I hope this planet prevails, because we don't have another one to head off too...unless mars has space to rent.
