In the big scheme of things, what matters is concern for the welfare of others

When you’re hot, you’re hot. When you’re not, you’re not. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t make a big difference. In the big scheme of things, what matters is concern for the welfare of others. It’s been a rough week for me with the loss of a very dear longtime friend. While it’s easy to feel sorry for myself, I try to honor my friend by remembering the pain of others and doing whatever I can to help. On a deeper level, I reflect that I am not who I think I am. I am like the sky, without borders or center, but even that is a concept, and not real. Let go, let go, let go.
