Sharing the Meaning of Life from "This" Perspective

The Meaning of Life and False Hopelessness – Part Two

A Smiling Face Comes from a Smiling HeartThe meaning of life is contained in the wings of a butterfly. Somewhere in South America a beautiful butterfly flutters its wings to go from one flower to the next. It flits about gaining its sustenance. The butterfly, just being itself, from its essence, its being, flies from one blossom to another seeking food. But in the course of flicking its wings, those wing-movements set up a vortex of minute power. Power enough, mind you, to propel the butterfly around the garden. So, just being what it is, the wing-vortexes of that butterfly set in motion the great winds of a hurricane. (This has been demonstrated theoretically.) In other words, one small gesture on the part of the butterfly fixed one the greatest forces in nature there is.

You, too, from who you are really, on the inside, put into motion all kinds of events that would not have happened had you not. Follow me now. You move your hand through the air. It seem a meaningless gesture. But you have set molecules of air in motion that would not have been had you not gestured thus. Perhaps you began a cool breeze that comforted the brow of sweating road worker. He surely needed that breeze at the precise moment.

Where the meaning of life is to be happy, think what positive forces you set in motion each time you do something from your positive outlook. When you are happy inside by being in connection to the Great Is, you beam your happiness to the world outside of you.

A smiling face comes from a smiling heart.

So, I declare to you, from this perspective anyway, that there is no hopelessness. You, individually, by yourself, can do something to affect real change in your world. You can begin with a smile beamed at all possible persons in all possible circumstances. (Certainly, a smile is not appropriate in every situation. That would be looney.) But in all possible circumstances. Therefore, you cannot be caught in false hopelessness. Because there is always something you can do.

The smallest kindness can set the whole world toward positive change. A random act of philanthropy can change the world. It is only when you perceive yourself as helpless in every circumstance, that you are. When you sense yourself as free to be able to affect a change, no matter how small, that you may indeed change the world. Just think of the butterfly in South American.
