I was watching yet another end of the world show last night based on ancient the Mayan calendar and Nostradomus. None of this is actually based on science or reality, only our interpretations as we look for something else to be afraid of. Or pehaps a way to justify our religious beliefs or actions. All of it is about living a life based on fear, full of problems we cannot solve and sign that all is lost.
Again, I wonder about Pirates, people who did not live in fear, but lived fully in the moment. They were not afraid to sail out to sea, or weather a rough storm. Most of them had very lttle, but were willing to share what they had. Pirates believed in sharing the wealth equally, and providing for disabled pirates. They had very little, but appreciated it a great deal. I saw the same thing in Israel, people who do not have much, but feel rich.
We in America, however, so often are afraid to share what we have, donate part of what we have, or be content with what we have. We have so much, appreciate it so little, and live in fear of losing what we have.
