HOW DO YOU DEFINE ' PRIVACY'





    Not sure how many of you have kept up with the ' Royal Couple's" William and Kate. They have been in many news articles during their trip to the Pacific Rim. 

   But what has taken over the media is about pictures taken of Kate , more then 4 football fields away . With a high tech lens , of her breast. A personal moment with her husband. Then the photo's were sold to rag newspapers.

   We might want to take a moment and look into why these photo'swould be valuable to the rag papers. Taking the privacy of anyone to a monetary scale. We are the one's wanting to see them. We have taken the personal privacy of anyone on the planet for sale so we can ' sneak a peak'. Of what? Of who? And why?

   I use " we'. And maybe you feel you are not among the ' we'. I might feel I am not among  the 'we'. But if we take a moment and look into 
our Soul's , there are times , maybe when we were young or stupid. But we are or were among the 'we'. 

    Be the change, take a honest look inward and know when those moments we have been guilty to want to violate others personal and private moments just for a weak moment of selfish , short term ' peak'. 

    And maybe then , as we take personal responsibility for what is happening out in the world, there will be more compassion, care for other and honor people's privacy.

   I call privacy " a personal moment one chooses to share with those who are close and and will understand the moment as very special."

  What do you think?

Is It Me or Them?

   

   What do we really know about our world today. Yes, there are teachers strikes. Our Ambassador to Libya was killed by angry protesters, who did not even know this man, his family or what he stood for. And another question. Is green coffee beans really good for us. 

   So many questions about so many subjects. And after 61 years on this planet, I feel where I find these answers are within my own blueprint. 

    I watched the faces and listened to some of the heartfelt wishes for peace at the Twin Tower ceremony in New York. 



   I believe, after quiet contemplation, is that I need to start right here, right now, always to improve my thoughts, grow my heart and let it open up. Feel what it is that I am doing to others . Is it from my open heart? Or from my closed mind and self centered thoughts?

   I would like to know what you believe. What you feel about the world. Whether it is your street, city or planet. And perhaps now, Mars. I look forward to sharing perspectives.
