Today's Reflection

How much better a place would the world be if there were more Gandhis, Buddhas, Mandelas wandering around doing their thing?

There are a small number of people who stand out through history as abnormal people. We are normal because we find ourselves unable or unwilling to step outside the norms of a society that, in general terms, in characterised as every man for himself - with all the all too apparent consequences that we find in our normal daily lives.

These norms have been tacitly agreed, by default, by normal people who, as proven by years of research, are psychologically incapable of perceiving the reality of the here and now and act accordingly. As such, we, normal people, are not even mentally up to the task of living life as it should be lived through a single twenty-four hour period. We are the walking dead.

But it is within each of us to wake up - to literally smell the roses, the become present to the reality of the moment - not at some point in the future, like the arbitrary start of a new year, but now - right now.

We can all be Gandhis, Buddhas and Mandelas in the theatre of our own small lives. We can make a difference not just for ourselves but for all those whose lives we touch. If we don't do it, what an opportunity we have squandered.
