Day 52 : Grandeur

Grandeur. This is another big disease that mankind's been afflicted with. We are all very much a victim/culprit of this. We believe in our bones that we are much better than the people around us or that we are living a life that is much beneath us. We are built for greater things.

While the later part does sound pretty true. We are all meant for greater things but that does not mean that those great things will have to bow down to us and be awestruck at the sight of our infinite glory. While we sit there on our sorry butts twiddling our thumbs.

We are all bigger than they lives we live. I don't suppose anyone, no matter how rich or famous is really content with what he/she has. We all want more; mainly because we all think we all deserve it. It is also this very thinking that sows the seed of greed, despise, animosity, and petty quarrels.

I suppose the only thing that makes us a different from the kindergarten kids is that our sense of grandeur while does incite negativity in us; it can often inspire us to accomplish amazing achievements. Make ungodly inventions, do great things, amass an indecent amount of wealth. All that because we honestly believe that we deserve more.

I wish we grander still in our humanity.

Don't you think world would be a much beautiful place if there were more people thought it in their power to be gracious and generous. Love each other, respect each other's life, tend to their needs, and help the needy. I suppose our sense of alpha dog, could also very well be used sometimes to take care of the underdogs. They too deserve it.

Today, be a grander 'humane' being.
