The Third Blessing - Our cosmic world

Bloggers Unite - Blog Action Day

I am not politically savvy, and I do not wish to belong to a lot of "activists" groups. however, I do not see why I would not participate in helping raise the awareness of our human responsibility towards the rest of the creation. It is what the third blessing is all about.

My personal effort in protecting the environment is minimal. I may not participate in cleaning it, but I also try not to participate in making it dirty. I do not litter and I try to use the resources that I have (i.e. water and electricity) wisely, without abusing the privilege of having these resources at hand. I have seen places where clean water is a luxury and electricity is not available.

I live in a country of extreme wealth, and I am very much aware of the responsibility that comes with this blessing. As I educate and mother young people I try to instill in them the sense of appreciation for our world. It is my hope that all of them will become learned people who will have a great respect, compassion, and love for their fellow human being as well as for the creation surrounding us all.

Definition of God

God, the Creator of all things under the sun, is the true parent of all humanity. He is not a parent in the parochial sense, existing only for a certain religion, a certain race, or the residents of a certain region. You may call Him by any name, be it Jehovah, Allah, or any other. What is important is that He positively exists, lives as the true parent of all people, and is carrying on the great work of creation. In accordance with the principles and the laws of nature that He set up at the beginning of time, He governs everything in the universe, and He has carried out His providence through history. Rev. Sun Myung Moon
