DAY 16 – A HOLISTIC HARMONY

I began reading a script for a play about the future where I am the main character. My life and world is just like I want it to be. I have nutritious food to eat and clean water to drink. I am in very good health. I live in a nice home and do things I enjoy doing. All of my interactions and relationships are going well with very little discord. The earth has become clean and sustainable. People no longer have a dislike or hatred for those who belong to a different group than they do. Wars and violence have become a thing of the past.

This isn’t just my life, this is everyone’s life. There is a cooperative spirit and peacefulness that pervades human society. A world filled with a holistic harmony is what we are born into.

The history books in the future show that until the change occurred people did not always have food, water and shelter. People had arguments and disputes that often led to hatred and violence. Pollution altered the pristine nature of the earth and caused environmental problems.

Until this evolved era began people were often out of sync with one another. There was a sense that something was amiss in the world but they couldn’t figure out what it was. When anything went awry it became disheartening and left life wanting.

Very few people in the past thought they had a meaningful hand in the problematic situations of their day. Almost everyone had a reason for why certain problems exist and they usually centered around someone else causing those difficulties. People didn’t understand life in all of the interacting layers and were therefore unable to simultaneously solve the problems of their time.

Humanity in the future understood that it is an absolute necessity to strive for a holistic harmony by looking at the bigger picture. They could see how the pieces of life fit together and the underlying reasons for what happens. Individuals do not give up their individuality but interact in a mutually beneficial manner while going about their daily activities. People everywhere put the interests of others and our planet into the equation when pursuing personal dreams and aspirations. Cooperation and selflessness replaced inconsideration and selfishness.

Harmony in its fullest context requires it to be holistic. The whole becomes just as important as each individual part. No one wants ninety percent of a better life, we all want the entire pie.

When I finished reading the script I now realize that the more harmony that exists in the world the better everyone’s life becomes.
