Brick 4: Awareness

Today's world presents a challenge on our youth, our adults and on our elderly.

As to what? Relevance (relation to the matter at hand). Which prompts:

Brick#4: Be aware of everything.

For kids, they are bombarded with expectations to fit in, to stand out, to accept everything, to not judge, etc. etc. For adults, they are hammered with do what you want, have it now, be with us, not with them, etc. etc. And for is older ones – we are viewed more as a part of the problem, then being any part of the solution that is desired.

Which leads to the point, what is right, wrong or needed, and who is or are the one(s) who decide?

And that is the true problem.

We have too many who are not thinking, who are not seeing what is really unfolding, who are not speaking out or standing up as they need to do. We all are being distracted and are being manipulated by those with their agenda.

But that is only so, as long as we let them.

So – start with these words from Plato:

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world.

And remember Ephesians 4:32 . . .

Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.
