does 1+2=4?

if one person uses twice as much as is needed (water, oil, etc.), what will remain for others, for that individual tomorrow?

How do they ignore it? It is not a point easily missed. They think themselves imperial. What to do?

if they are imperial, are they like the emperor and without clothes as well? and if so, do we pretend they are fully clothed? how about our own clothing situation?

This is a hard one.
Here is what comes.
Be Here Now.

Today, like every other day,
we wake up empty and frightened.
Don't open the door to the study
and begin reading.
Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways
to kneel and kiss the ground.
RUMI

so if we see the beauty in others, even if it is not so apparent, then we are more apt to see the beauty in ourselves and act accordingly?

I am not sure(at this point) how you jump from point A to point Z so expeditiously, but yeah, that's it...and so true. Clinging to anger or expectation (in regards to the "other") only creates a breeding ground for the same in all of "us".
Moving into a place of loving and accepting what "is", is so freeing and productive....and it's our choice. Om Namah Shivaya

what to do when i feel "z "is so interesting i simply must go there without interacting with all that is in between?

red crow said...

Ya can't go there, AATMM, The present moment contains the "Z", but it also contains the "A-Y", and the now moment is where the rubber of "Z" hits the alphabet road. Ya gotta see how it's all perfect...even the A-Y. That's where freedom is. The trick is in becoming an "impeccable warrior". Om Namah Shivaya

how can i go there when i am already there? if i am an alphabet, then i invite others to bring their marks and together we create the page?

red crow said...

yea, that's about all we can do...
invite, and create with the entire alphabet,AND, hold on to the Z.
Om Namah Shivaya
