Hi everyone,
Everybody's talking about being and acting "socially conscious", even creating "socially consicous" enterprise. Wow, it SOUNDS good... but what is it?
What does it mean to be socially consicous?
And if you are socially 'conscious' ?
And if you are " socially" conscious?
Oh whatdoesitmean, whatdoesitmean, what-does-it-mean, exactly?
What are you aware of, how do you feel, what thoughts do you think, how do you behave?
It would seem to me that if you were socially conscious you would know that the way society is set up in a very distorted, distressed and dysfunctional way and so you would want to shift that, right?
So, here's my socially conscious propositon. Without any expectation of something in return, go out into your world today and help someone carry their groceries, give someone your chair, smile at someone who seems irritated or unhappy, share something you care about with someone you don't know....simple, daily things.
ONE HAND TOUCHING ANOTHER, ONE PERSON AT A TIME, WITHOUT ANY PAYOFF, NO BONUS, NO COMMISSION, NO GIFTS... just for the PURE PLEASURE of CONNECTING, human being to human being.
Now, you may think it's easy to do but it's not, it's SCARY the first time, you have no 'motive' other than JOY to engage another human being and connect.
Now you may think you do it all the time and you'll know if you do because you will CONNECT with the person when you give them your seat, or hold the door, or whatever... IT WON'T BE A NONCHELANT ACT...
If you do this on any day you will feel a new kind of vitality, a new sense of engagement, a new consciousness of social being as well as becoming 'socially conscious'!
Try it and you will discover one more IMPORTANT thing...but I can't tell you what that is, you have to discover it by doing whatever it is you have chosen to do.
