Our actions directly and indirectly have an effect on others. I knew this before but I hadn’t grasped the full measure of what our actions can lead to. Sometimes we make decisions based on what’s best for us, at the expense of others who may not have been involved in the decision making process. We are looking out for ourselves, and hurting those for whom no one looks out.
The lighter a car is, the lesser the impact it has when it hits something. When weight is increased on the car, momentum at speed is also increased and the impact of a collision is greater. When a heavy commercial vehicle is involved, or a train, the impact can be of immense proportion and the person steering the vehicle has to be in full control.
Our lives are like vehicles. We are always picking and dropping things. We are constantly in need of repair and refuelling. Anyone who goes through life without regular service runs the risk of not only injuring him or herself, but of also injuring others. The less emotional baggage we carry, the lighter our walk in life becomes. There are so many things we need to let go of, so ask yourself, ‘what am I carrying?’
