Most of us live in our own bubble, ignoring as best we can the suffering all around us in the world. Out of sight, out of mind. We tend to believe that others’ suffering does not affect us. However, we are all connected. Even if the suffering is on the other side of the planet, and we don’t see or hear about it with our own eyes and ears, we still feel the pain of those who are suffering. Why? Because we are connected to it, since we are all really One spiritually beyond appearances. That is the truth.

We are not as separate as we appear to be, so shouldn’t we be helping others who are outside our own bubbles? It is natural to not want to think about or focus on the suffering of others, which is depressing. If someone comes on TV to talk about starving people, most viewers will change the channel. We don’t want to see that, or be swayed to feel any responsibility to help. Certainly, not after we just ate a great meal at a fancy restaurant.

I don’t want to think about the fact that over six hundred million people throughout the world do not have access to clean drinking water. I don’t want to contribute to solving the problem. I think, Someone else will do it, or The problem is too big to solve, so any effort is useless.

But as for the clean water issue, we currently have the means and the resources to bring relief in a relatively short period of time to most people in the world who lack access to clean drinking water. Nevertheless, as of yet, we have not done so.

It is absurd that people are suffering in this way right now when this problem could be solved fairly quickly with resources and technology that already exist. We could change the world in a big way right now if enough people give to the objective of everyone having access to clean drinking water. Go to www.expertgiver.com for links on how to help with this very important cause. One hundred percent of donations go toward solving this problem. All of the money donated goes straight to purchasing water wells and filtration in the most needy areas. I personally will profit in no way financially from this cause.

This is something we can do right now to help decrease suffering in the world. If enough of us donate a little, we can solve this problem. Imagine if you didn’t have access to clean drinking water. Those of us who do have clean water are not thinking about the people who are suffering because they don’t have it. We are selfish because we are ignorant. Whether we know it or not, the truth is that the suffering of others is also our suffering.
