Reaching an happier life by using our interconnectedness correctly.
How others that I don’t know personally, affect my quality of life? Let’s take for example that we need to take the bus or the subway to go to work every day, each time we see people in different moods, some are stressed other are a little bit more happy etc, even though we do not know these people personally, they do affect us and by the time we get to work our mood might have been affected by them, in a positive or a negative way. Now let’s say that instead of having to be in contact with people who mostly think about themselves and don’t care about how they affect each other, we were to change our ways and influence each other in a positive manner, how it would be nice to take the same bus or subway everyday and have a positive, warm and friendly influence all around us. Let’s make it better and let’s say that we have that positive, warm and friendly influence everywhere we go, that would be even greater. As shown with these examples, our moods are influenced by the others thru interconnectedness and that, even by people who seems far from us.
To use interconnectedness correctly we have to start by the people who are close to us and understand that those who seems farther also matter, because eventually they might have an impact on us as well. In our direct environment, rather than have an attitude that I am for myself only, we need to know that by uplifting the moods of those that are close to us they will uplift our mood back and thus creating that positive, warm and friendly environment. Anyone in their right mind wouldn’t want to go on and create the opposite, hence, it is wiser to invest in positive actions toward the others in our environment. As for those that seems to be away from us, we must understand that their griefs or happiness might affect us back, will it be on our way to work or while waiting in line at the bank, knowing that, we can’t just think that their problems is not ours as well and that we can isolate ourselves while not be affected. Wishing the best for everyone is the way to use our interconnectedness correctly.
