Comment on Issues

CRenae — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:48:52 GMT

I like your explanation that problems are outside of us and that issues are within us. I think that because issues are inside that sometimes that makes it harder for us to reach in to pull them out and acknowledge them. Sometimes our issues are so deeply buried within that we really don't know that they are there. We may know that something's there, but we may not be conscious of exactly what it is. And sometimes learning to see the issues is the toughest part of all. But if we dare to take the journey, there's something in it, that begins to unlock our spirits and help us to become who we were meant to be. Thanks for your provocative reflections.

Deep. Deep. Deep. You really do know what to say to encourage someone. Like you always say, keep shining like the sun because the world needs you. Keep your eye on the light at the end of the tunnel. Never let that light fade away. The light is hope. The only way to have hope is the have faith. No one can take your faith away unless you give it away. No one.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness."
-- The Dalai Lama

"The flower of kindness will grow. Maybe not now, but it will some day.
And in kind that kindness will flow, for kindness grows in this way."
-- Robert Alan

"Be the change you want to see in the world."
-- Mohandas Gandhi.

The first "cure" begins where only God can search, our hearts. For who can know the heart? It's not the highly trained cardiologist, but Skillful God, who performs no fail bi-pass surgery.

We'll find a cure someday. Compassion, persistence,and tenacity!

Mr. McMillan, you have conveyed an important, crucial problem to its light. I am currently working abroad and the appalling dreariness of this disease is indescribable. A lot of people fail to comprehend the importance of being a global citizen. It doesn’t matter where we are, we have a responsibility to care for and support one another, whether it is in Ghana or Chicago. Your informative analysis on scientists and their work towards a cure is very thorough. It’s sad to see how scientists have tried to capsize God’s authority. How life-changing and brilliant it would be if they could see God for who He has been, who He is, and how He’ll remain the same powerful God. My suggestion is that you position this specific article in other informative sources geared towards international issues, or speak out more about this essential subject, especially within inner-city communities. It is greatly needed.

thank you iris for your keen observations. the questions is always life isn't it, because even when the subject changes the questions often remain the same. i'm a big fan of people who know how to communicate who they are because they give the rest of us permission to be ourselves as well. thanks again.

Your expressions of wisdom are truly inspiring and moving. Life is given to us as an opportunity to construct, support, and learn the value and purpose of existence with other human beings. I think this article connects with your thesis on the importance of smiling and knowing who you are. No one can obtain what they’ve never given you initially. Thanks for your article!

i think you're right D. Bell. life is rather simple when you think about. we are often the ones the make it complex and confusing. keeping it simple is something we should all strive to do and when you know that something as simple as a smile can change a life makes you think about what elese you can chang.

Great Article. Very meaningful and real solution. You make it very simple to understand the secret of feeling good about yourself. In addition to feeling good about yourself, you illustrate how a smile can control situations and viewpoints of others. Fantastic.
