We may not have the ability to control the actions of others, but we can choose our reactions. When it comes to acts of nature or God, I do believe we (collectively) need to take some responsibility. For example, we were given this amazing planet to live upon, however, we do not treat it with compassion, love, or respect. For that, we must all be responsible. Even if you were to live off your land and not participate in the trashing of our earth, maybe you didn't spread the message to others who were not doing so.<br /><br />I find acting "as if" to be very humbling indeed. Not taking ownership (for me, anyway) would simply result in a disconnect to both myself and my spirituality.<br /><br />Thank you for your challenge. It has caused me to delve deeper into the reality of my belief system.<br /><br />With respect, love and gratitude~<br />ErinErin Paige Tulliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927120822210518492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429822175457591594.post-8027106927729105422009-05-31T18:49:50.600-07:002009-05-31T18:49:50.600-07:00I read the book, "The Secret".

We have been empowered to make decisions, but we have not been empowered to control the dynamic of others, nature or most importantly God. Trying too will ultimately be a most humbling experience. <br />~Best regards, H.The Opinionatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09835867398297297191noreply@blogger.com
