Human Spirit

      Unfortunately, I feel we have become complacent with the distractions of our human spirit. These distractions have found their way into our daily routines.  It’s as though each day we are consuming hotter and hotter foods.  And each time these foods touch our tongues, we are burning more and more of our taste buds.  Soon, great tasting food and experiences will go unnoticed. More importantly, the original main ingredient to the cooking process – love – is lost and tasteless. Without this sensitivity toward love, are we truly living?  Without our taste buds, are we eating to live or just to survive? If so, will we no longer grow?

    We live in a world of inanimate objects.  They are all just tools, and we must keep this in perspective if we want to fulfill the needs of our universe. Do these tools have needs? Or do we have needs? We have needs; our needs are to be as one.  It’s so clear that relationships among humans (in essence, between nature and nature) should be the priority, not that between human and tool.  It is once again about finding balance.  I have witnessed time and again humans working with inanimate objects over long periods of time and suffering from mental disconnect and depression.  If we concentrate on giving to humanity, our needs will be put in perspective.  What can we give?  You can give your love and your story.

          If we make movies, write, paint, dance, or whichever tool we use, we should do it so well that our stories move emotions in ways that uplift the human spirit and intellect. This will bring people together with positive energy.  We should help others to feel their brightness and feel like they are not alone.  This is “success” – being with the ones you love, mentally or physically, and, most importantly, spiritually.  In New York City, it feels like the city of time, probably like many other places in this present age.  We are constantly feeling like we have less time to be with the ones we love.  If we only accepted that our nature is to love each other, then we will take in consideration that this is also a city of people.

          Yesterdays, today’s, and tomorrows man-made creations have and will continue to try to imitate life, be it computers, TVs, phones, and other such devices. The root behind all of them is to stop the feeling of loneliness. But the truth is that there is only one thing that can put a stop to feelings of loneliness, and that is the human spirit.  If we can control our minds, we have a better chance of controlling our suffering.  When we control our suffering, we can feel together and go in the direction of happiness, giving not just a story about passing and failing but of what we learned.

Give hope, not hate.
