As Thich Nhat Hanh beautifully puts it, ‘Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity.’ This potential for tranquillity and happiness lies within our daily actions.
In our daily lives, we’re all on a journey, whether we’re on the move or staying put. We sleep through the night or barely do, and we must pause to consider what life is truly about. It’s crucial to remember that no one can make a judgment against us if we work together as a team and as a leadership. Our collective actions can make a significant difference in addressing social issues.
It’s easy for most people, including those who are D/deaf or disabled, to be quick to judge. However, it’s best to stop and think before prejudging others. Consider the Leaders in countries where numerous wars are ongoing, causing people to suffer. When food aid and medical supplies are delayed, are these leaders demonstrating effective leadership and a talent for peacemaking? Perhaps not. It’s essential to approach these situations with empathy and understanding, rather than quick judgment.
Finances and businesses are struggling with inflation, which has led to cutbacks in financial resources for sending or receiving goods and services. Staff are demanding higher incomes to cover their mortgages, bills, education, and health costs, all of which have increased due to inflation and other financial issues. Thousands of homeless people are struggling to find a home to live in. In contrast, other people turn their backs on homeless people in a selfish act, refuse to acknowledge the homeless people if they believe they may be a criminal, drug addict/or alcoholic, and many other health issues.
It’s crucial to stop and start looking out there in the fields, in the street, in the farmlands, on the beaches. What is out there showing you? The signs are there, telling us to understand and realise that we may have overlooked something, done something wrong, or have other issues. Mother Nature has brought us disaster through global warming and environmental changes. We need to learn from this and adapt the environment to make it better and safer for us. It’s a reminder that no one is perfect, but we can always learn and grow from our mistakes.
I am a deaf philosopher like Auguste Rodin, and the love of exploring life out there by teaching me to understand how they (the people, disabled people, D/deaf people) behave differently, technology makes our lives worse or better, daily in the home and in the communities. I can help with problem-solving by teaching them how to live a meaningful life, showing them different ways to approach things, and being respectful and attentive through conversation.
