See No Evil

Stand back and view our global village: note strife is prevalent everywhere. We have already had the war to end all wars, and yet it stopped nothing. Wars flourish all over: wars of greed, wars of ideology, wars of prejudice, ethnic wars, economic wars, war of poverty, land, food, oil and war for the sake of war. We see it daily on the news, in newspapers, in headlines posted online. We see evil...and can't do much to change it.

Have a positive attitude, look at the bright side, see the good first, that is what we tell ourselves, and just maybe it will spread and change the world. It doesn't quite work that way. We may change our environment, to be sure, but how is that ever enough to aid Planet Earth and all her people?

See no evil...and it doesn't exist. Many think that way, and that can never be acceptable.

I have no answers, but the hope that many of you out there will stop to think twice before accusing friend or stranger of something untoward, or that you might have compassion for those caught in the grip of a situation not their making, rather than switch the channel, is a step. A very small step, but add it to the attitude that can change your environment and then go forth and help others to change theirs...and just maybe the winds of change will blow stronger.

Seeing no evil is never acceptable. Seeing starts with every one of us. Change starts in every one of us. Please look around you.
