We are no greater than the water we drink. We are no greater than the air we breathe. We are no greater than the food we eat and we are no greater than the dirt we walk upon.
For without these things, we may not live. Despite the ships we build, the businesses we run, the cars we drive, the clothes we wear, the music we make, the paintings we paint, the words we speak, and the inventions we create;
None of that is possible without the earth below us, the sky above us, the water which nourishes us and the air that gives us life.
Always give thanks.
We are no greater than what we destroy, for we only destroy, ultimately, ourselves.
Open our eyes.
Are we ourselves? Or are we our egos? Which gives us happiness? And which gives us suffering?
The earth, the water, the sky, have no ego. Compassion does not require an expectation. And the earth, the water, the sky, never ask for a thank you.
It is up to us to show our gratefulness. It is up to us to show compassion.
