The muingi (movement) in us all
By: Neha
Life is filled with happy moments - most of which occur when an unexpected, or chanced event has occurred
those moments that catch us by surprise often give us the greatest joy
by taking a chance towards the unexpected, by submersing our biggest critic, our inner rational hesitation, we open ourselves to other people, societies, ways of thinking, cultures, to life
compassion, one of the greatest and most blessed human emotions, not only enables humans to save lives, but it also enables others to live
this hidden connection that we possess with every human being forms a chain of progression, of development of the human soul
when enough people act intelligently and compassionately, life is formed, sustained, prolonged and developed
you see, there is a mau mau movement in everyday life
you see, there is a mau mau movement in everyday life
we all experience it
when we compare which coffee shops to go to, we mentally calculate the more ethical business - tending to the consciousness, the awareness, the responsibility we feel to the whole
from the moment we wake up, to the time of sleep, and even in our dreams, we are uprising
we demonstrate this muingi when we vote for our leaders, buy newspapers, participate in rallies, pick our inner battles, travel to get more aware, educate ourselves and our children, question the norms of society, interact with others and demonstrate a drive to learn...for it's when the minute particulars are tended to that change for the better occurs.
