Editorial Note: Take Care of Your Humanity!

We are all essentially born as human beings who bear a high magnificence and value. Honestly when we are kids we usually remain innocently kind, generous, happy, carefree and positive. But just as we step out of our childhood, we are exposed to an exotic outside world which is full of wildness, unexpected cruelty, justification, deception, lies, and several other negative and unpleasant features, habits and attitudes. It’s right there and then that we have to gain our own consciousness and be careful how the outside world would influence us. The truth is that you will face unlimited and unexpected features and characteristics in people every single day and you will at times not only be taken back by surprise, but actually you will be terribly shocked and merely terrified why people behave the way they really do.

But at the end of the day you are the one who decides about you; who you want to be? How you want to be? and what features and characteristics do you wish to bear as part of your pure humanity throughout life? So every single day you need to make a choice and to be cautious about who you interact with in different levels. You will gradually discover your own true worth and value and the beautiful responsibilities you have as a human being. The first step is to trust your heart, continue your investigations about the essential features of humanity and therefore be able to create a big picture in your mind. When this happens you will take control and feel empowered.  On many occasions you might find it tough to resist and adhere to your great humanistic values and try to justify a change in your manner, attitude and thinking mode. But it won’t take long and after a short while you will face an inner conflict and challenge and know for real that if you are to violate your own basic moral principles, you will feel estranged and won’t be familiar with yourself anymore.

If you have faith in your true and valuable values, then nothing can change who you are and you will be respected. So, take care of yourself, and care for your Godly essences which are granted to you as divine blessings. If you take care of every great feature you possess, then you can even enrich them and reach an inner peace. Look at it as part of your journey in life; one that accompanies you all along and is part of your identity.
