I am Part of this Universe

It is forgotten that each living and non has been and remains will be on this planet in a form that continues to change. Today I am a living creature but soon I will be a non-living, still on this planet. The rose flower you see blossoming in summer, withers in winter. But is still part of this planet.I think I am the only important, and I should be recognised, and others should bow down to me. How irrational am I? I do not agree, but I have to earn my standing.I spend time and time again gratifying others, not me. I, day in and day out, say I want my children to get a good education, my children to be free, forgetting about me. If I am happy, surely anything around me will be. It is because I am happy…blissful. Countries are at war because I forgot it is about me, not others. If I wholeheartedly and truly want peace and focus on peace, I promise you the world will be peaceful and a happy place. Peace is non-existent because I forgot about myself but focussed on others. Others will take care of themselves because others are I. In this book, words like universe, earth, cosmos, world, planet and continent are used interchangeably.
