Four Year Old Birthday Rhyme

Ep 67: Up Where you involved?

Today's topic is how far you involved? And among other things created a phrase of Einstein that I found and they say: "Life is very dangerous. Not by the people who do evil, but because they feel and see what happens ", and" The world is not threatened by the bad people but for those who allow evil. "
so I do not know if I agree that life is sooo dangerous, but I think how dangerous it is, in fact is due not only to people who do evil, we do not really think they are many, but those who feel to see what happens, neither do good, not something to avoid or to counteract evil doers.
So the question for you and for me too, is as far as we engage, as far as you get involved? So where do good? As far as you to prevent evil? What are you willing to do for life, or the world, are not dangerous?
How many times have you had to see that something happens that does not seem right, but prefer to do nothing. Whether you think you are safe, or does not affect you much, or because you think you risk much if you get involved, or because you simply do not feel like, and prefer to look the other way and act as if you had not seen anything. And I say this because I also happened to me. But how ethical is this behavior? What consequences can bring both you and the rest?

And sometimes involved not mean to say something, express your true opinion. Not necessarily means engaging in heroic acts, controversial or risky. For example, a situation that I see quite often is this: I'm at work, or go in a taxi, or I meet people everywhere that all they do is complain. His whole conversation is about the complaint. Blame others for all their ills and the ills of mankind. And they try to convince or to seek empathy in me. That one and I agree that the heads are responsible for the unhappiness of all employees that the government is responsible for everything bad that happens in the country, etc. And if they catch me off guard may fall into the little trick. But I intend to be always alert, try to be very present in the conversation to avoid falling into the game. Complaints are toxic, harmful, pollute a lot and are contagious. Especially if the level of consciousness of the people involved is not very high.
We all like to agree with us, support us, we avoid to disagree in general, because it is not so nice as to agree. Agree to give us a sense of solidarity, of unity, we're all in this together. But how you think we help the world to life, are less dangerous, joining the complaint, supporting, validating the blame others for whatever is bothering us? Or saying, carefully, with much love, what we really think? What if in that situation, rather than agree, we should say something like "I agree that there are certain factors that are beyond our control change, but there is much we can do to be better, right?" .
For the person who listens can open a new world of possibilities. It may not have realized that I had fallen in the service of the complaint. By showing a different way of seeing things, we offer an opportunity to take charge and change that will not accommodate. And for ourselves is vital to act consistently with our real beliefs. If agree, not create a conflict, not to expose ourselves, we contradict our beliefs, we are denying, we send the message that is not worth it to express what we believe, damage our self-image and self-esteem, we do not respect .

The question how far can you get involved? for me has to do to get out of victim mentality. As far as you assume your responsibility for your own quality of life, as far as you assume your responsibility for the quality of life in your immediate environment, your community, and ultimately the world? How involved are you with your life, your own existence? How involved are you with those around you?
Involving has to do with respect and recognition that our opinions, our ideas, our way of seeing things matter and not only that, but we can also provide others with a new look that may eventually provide to improve the quality of life of others and our community. It is also about to expose our ideas to the eyes of others, and enrich them with those contributions, to be open to build with others, with those around us, the eyes and stories allow us to live where and how we live.
The engage for me has to do with the ethic of being true to ourselves and to act accordingly. Eye must also be cautious and be guided by our intuition. Keep in mind that in life things are not just white or black, there are also gray. It is not my idea to leave the message that we must be willing to die or to kill or not to lose our source of income by getting involved. You can not give recipes or steps to be applied to any situation. But each in his own mind, knows he can, to where it should, to the extent necessary to reach, how far you can compromise without sacrificing itself, without feeling like you are betraying them, but always bearing in mind the common good, the greater good. To me that is the key that allows us to solve the paradox of the common good versus personal property.
Well, we reached the end of this episode, I hope you have enjoyed and stay not only with the question of how far involved, but we begin together to develop the habit of getting involved on our own lives and our relationships to make where we live, the relationships we have, the life we \u200b\u200blead, more similar to how we dream.
