Buddhist Theory: How helpful! 3.

When you count the handful of people who have learned enough to start making a difference, and then counted the number of people who have not even started to fix themselves yet - you may feel like me - somewhat worried that the situation on earth will be getting far worse before it gets any better - unless the hell-zone extends and has more room in it or expels some of its previous occupants. It makes life on our planet look somewhat difficult.

However, if my own life has improved dramatically, I have a handful of friends who have also made great advances in their own lives, and I do not know the entire population - I guess there will be some of us left to head in the correct direction. If major league personal improvements eventually lead to a better life when the major league karma has expired, life should somehow improve as our many lives evolve - for us at least.

But - what about the numerous people on this planet that are not making these changes - not even slight improvements - people who are totally unaware that the longer they go on the way they do the longer their lives will be stuck in difficulty?

Where does one BEGIN to help others?

Feeling at an enormous loss as to how I can possibly help any other human, I have turned to bugs and birds. I feel much more capable of demonstrating a better way of living to them than to my own kind. Perhaps they will be reborn as people soon, and remember the difference between a kind human that does not harm them and the rabid mass that do not seem to care…?
