What are We Wearing Today?

When we look in the mirror in the morning, what do we see? I’ll bet that most of us see acedia. Now let’s rush to our online dictionaries to find out what acedia means; oh, no time? Well, it means apathy, in simpler terms. . . boredom. We are bored people.  We go to jobs that may or may not give us a reason to look forward. We force excitement into our lives.

We do not look inward where our true happiness is, where love and hope is, wrapped tightly in the faith we are all born with, but neglect as we are educated by others who think they know better than us. Think they know better than God. It is in our heart, where God dwells, that our demons are defeated, our healing takes place, and our love is born.

Not superficial love, but the Love that is eternal, the Love that is shared with your eternal partner, your children, your family, the Love that comes from God, that dwells in your heart, the Love that should also be reflected on the outside. As the prophets, say, “What we wear on our hearts should be just as obvious to the world as what we wear on our bodies.” If we truly love, let it show. Our lives and the lives of all we meet will be better for it.

We can stop being the pre-pandemic dehydrated people of the ever-growing competitive world of higher finance and immerse ourselves in the presence of current truthful reality, the reality of human suffering all around, created by that ever-growing world of dehydration.

I do not criticize those in the competitive world;  some work hard in their jobs and take time to both donate and help rebuild lives for those no longer able to do for themselves. I love them for their efforts to help those no longer able to help themselves. These people are perfect examples of those whose hearts are shown on the outside as well as the inside, such as the Tunnels to Towers Foundation.

Let us all be as true to humanity and we are to God.
