Superfical Happiness or Lasting?
Written by Carole Lynne
In today’s world where we are so aware of what is happening with people all over the planet, it is hard to be blissfully happy in our own little world, unless we want to shut out all news from those around the globe. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to travel around the world, or even to less fortunate neighborhoods in our own country, know that serious poverty exists. When we see pictures of starving children on television, we know that those children are real and that the flies that buzz around them are real.
How happy can one be sitting on the beach drinking an iced cafe latte, knowing that others are starving? While facing this question does not bring immediate happiness, facing and dealing with the problems of the world will ultimately bring a real spiritual happiness, which is the core of bliss. The superficial happiness that comes when we can buy a bigger house or a diamond ring, is not a lasting happiness. As we evolve into higher states of consciousness and begin to give more of what we have to others, then we can find a lasting happiness.
Let us all pray that we can take an honest look at our world and find ways to help others through our prayers and through donations of money, goods and time. As we help others, we help ourselves. We evolve into a better world where everyone can benefit from the joys life offers. It is often the poor who give to the poor, as they know what it is like to be in need of food, housing and clothing. Those of us who are not in poverty need to imagine what it would be like to be living on the street, trying to get enough food for each day.
As we raise our spiritual consciousness, we come to understand that We Are All One. None of us are separate, and that child across the world who is staving, is part of us. When we go to sleep at night, in the background of our consciousness we see that truth and know that all of us are connected. Let us learn to see the truth about the world when we are in the waking state, so that we can reach out more to help those in need. Then we will find lasting happiness.
