unity in
MIRROR (Written by Michael Jackson)
I wanted to change the world, so one day I got up and looked in the mirror.
- "There's no time.
The earth is suffering.
Children are dying of hunger.
The countries are divided by hatred.
Water and air are polluted seriously.
Fa 'something!" I said the image in the mirror.
was all chaos, tragedy, a disaster.
I think so too.
maybe I was not scared I, like him, from all this?
The planet continued to be exploited and thrown away.
I came to imagine the panic that terrestrial life could remain a single generation.
I was not hard to find good people who, like me, wanted to solve the problems of the planet.
When I listened to their proposals, I thought, 'There is so much good will here, so much interest.
The night before going to bed, the image in the mirror he looked serious.
- "You could really do something," he said, "if everyone did their part."
But not everyone does their part.
Some make it, but we can stop the current?
really pain, hunger, hatred and pollution were to be resolved?
was not enough to want to change the world to solve problems, I knew.
When the next morning, I got the image in the mirror seemed confused.
- "Perhaps there is hope," she sighed.
His eyes became ambiguous, then shrugged. "But you and I will survive. At least we're good. "
I felt strange hearing him say this.
Here was something very wrong.
I was a suspect, and if that was not me in the mirror?
you feel separate from me.
see the problems out there, but not interested if they are solved or not.
He continues on his way.
But I do not agree, I do not feel those problems out there.
I hear them inside me.
A crying child in Ethiopia, a seagull that is consumed in oil immersed
a mountain gorilla being chased by hunters
a young soldier who trembles with fear under the roar of fighter
not possibly happen in me when I see and hear these things ?
Next time, when I looked at the mirror, the image was disappearing.
After all it was just an image.
was the figure of one person, locked in an assembly of skin and bones.
- "I really thought you were me?", I began to wonder.
I'm not so separate and scared.
The pain of life touches me, but the joy of life is much stronger.
And just to heal her.
Life by life, and the best we can do for the earth to be his loving son.
The image in the mirror began to falter.
He had never thought of love.
was much easier to see the problems, because love means first of all to be honest with yourself. Ouch!
- "Friend," I sighed, "you believe that any problem can be solved without love?".
- "Is it love more real than the pain?" He asked
- "I do not I'm sure. But maybe. Let's find out! "I said.
With a smile touched the mirror.
"We should not be alone anymore. Want to be my friend? I feel that is about to begin a dance. Come. "
The image in the mirror smiled shyly.
began to realize that we could be real friends.
We could be more peaceful, more loving, more honest with ourselves.
this can change the world?
I think so, because Mother Earth wants our happiness and wants to be loved.
It needs strong people to his side, whose courage is born from the awareness of being a part of her as a child has the courage to walk because he knows that his mother is ready to take it.
When the image in the mirror and I are full of love, there is no room for fear.
When we were scared and in panic, we could not to love this life and the earth.
and parted.
And then, how can someone who has come to the aid of the earth divided?
The earth is trying to communicate his needs, but we do not listen and we end up being afraid.
One thing I know for sure when I am conscious of being the son of the earth, I do not feel alone.
Until I know that all living things are in me, I need not cling to my survival.
Children and their pain, children and their joy. The ocean
swollen under the sun, the ocean crying black oil.
The terrified animals hunting, animals that break out of pure joy of being alive.
This sense of the world in me is what I need. What
in the mirror still has doubts sometimes.
So I try to be loving with him.
daily touch the mirror and whisper, "Oh, man, I feel the dance. Want to be my partner? Dai. "
