Stay Humble, Like the Earth Stepped on
Throughout this journey of life, it seems that no one lives without the accompanying dynamics. Even a newborn baby needs a process to get to this world. We are all the same, we live together in everything and everything in the world.
Everything that is good or bad that we have lived, is the essence of us as humans in this life. We experience sadness, it's because we are human. Likewise when we feel happy, and even then because we are human. Humans are creatures created to feel and enjoy everything that comes their way.
We can't avoid what happened, we also can't run away from reality, we can't deny all the facts, we can only accept and live it wholeheartedly and try as much as we can.
Life is an arena for cultivating goodness. But there is no denying that there is still something within us which at one time can do bad things. The world is a field of doing good, while the hereafter is a place to reap what we have done in this world. Whether the results are as expected or not, it depends on us.
The process in life is never separated from the actions of human hands themselves. Nature is not preserved, many animal and plant species are extinct, and conflicts between humans are all because of what we do ourselves.
We cannot blame others, because we are all human. Humans need each other. But sometimes there is also a disadvantage. But this is part of the process. It requires mutual understanding that we are an inseparable unit. Human beings should be able to understand each other.
Mutual understanding in everything. Able to understand the surroundings, able to understand the strengths of others and the weaknesses of others. Likewise, being able to understand your own strengths and weaknesses.
There are times when we know that in this world is a place to find identity. There was no time to dwell on anything ephemeral. We can't keep blaming circumstances. Can't blame humans for doing bad things. Because there is a time, we blame the bad, which in the end we do it ourselves.
The process in life is how great we are at living it, whether it's a process we want or what we don't want. But when we do all that gracefully and sincerely in carrying it out, something good will await us in the future. Believe in the goodness of life.
Kindness is a manifestation of all the good intentions that we instill in ourselves. There is not a single intention engraved in the heart to do otherwise. Like the proverb that our teachers teach us since childhood, what we sow is what we receive.
Therefore, promise yourself, today to the days ahead are days where good deeds are like ink that we drop in a glass, which only takes one drop to change the contents in the glass like that ink. The lesson is that when we do good, other good things will follow.
So, whatever happens in this life, always emit a trace of goodness. Because no one knows age, maybe today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or when, no one can determine. Stay humble, like the earth that we always walk on.
