Why stay in the dark when you can spread the light?
Why stay in the dark when you can spread the light?
In moments throughout history, there have been many times when the proper spread of accurate information has completely determined the outcome of history. In fact, in most cases this would have to be true.
As people are faced with ever more opportunity and stimuli in society, there are so many variables that catch a human being at a vulnerable moment and lead them into paths of self destruction.
Whether they are suffering some form of mental abuse or extreme pressure in life that gives them cause to find any kind of substance abuse (to alleviate the stress or pressure) or emotional abuse from anyone in their world, there are countless forces that are always acting upon humanity that are capable of reducing even the strongest into someone who is just trying to cope.
It is easier to stay compartmentalized in our own respective corners, tending to ourselves and our family and allowing the rest to just get by as they may.
But, in many cases, we have information, life experience, or unique knowledge that can help another person from falling deeper into an abyss that seems omnipowerful to them.
Given how specialized knowledge and experience has become for the human species, isn’t it a general act of kindness to be willing to take something for which one has unique knowledge, and share that in a certain manner (as may be required) in order to help others transverse the chasm they are facing?
We all need of some of this expertise and most of us are capable of delivering some of our own unique expertise to others. It strikes me that spreading light is just one of the prerequisites to being a really good citizen of planet earth.
Happy Saturday!
