What, if anything, do you believe we owe the world? Why?

Posted on May 25th, 2007 by Pierre : Being Pierre
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for April 25, 2007:

I don't think we OWE the world anything! Maybe its just a question of semantics but a WORD triggers so many links to so many emotions. OWE is an expectation. It is a response to debt. Debt is incurred. It is a human construction.
I believe that if we show our children how magnificent our planet is - and take the time to teach with an open mind what we know in our innermost of HER... then there would be no debt implication. But I do think we owe it to each other to deconstruct all the dogmas, shame based teachings, tyrranies, fear of scarcity and the like. Deconstruct the dogma and propaganda's that were concieved in fear, greed and manipulation and expose the incredible creative and loving nature of every human being.

“expose the incredible creative and loving nature of every human being.”    :  )  yup!  Especially, we have an opportunity with children, we can teach them to recognize these things in themselves and others, and to embrace their roles as members in the family of Life.

I t could be semantics - but I love the way you dovetail into that ecstatic speech -

What we owe to each other and the earth is who we really deeply are, before the rules that mess us all up.
