Just A Thought ~ PARTS OF THE WHOLE

"Whether we like it or not, we are important and, for better or worse, consciously or unconsciously, we will leave our mark on history. As the expression goes: "If not you, who? And if not now, when?"

~ M. Scott Peck, American Inspirational Writer ~

We feel ourselves unimportant because we think of ourselves in isolation, separate from the rest of existence, instead of seeing how we are connected and belong, as parts of the Whole. And when we think of ourselves as unimportant, we will live as so.

Even so, the high depends upon the low, and no-one does anything alone. We would not have heard of Alexander ~ known as 'the Great' ~ for example, without the lowest of people under him ~ cooks, cobblers, grass-cutters, grooms, blacksmiths, water-carriers, and so on, people who history never mentioned or acknowledged, but without whom, Alexander would also not have been heard of.
