FB note- On Trust and Solidarity

Trust

When we cease to trust each other as human beings, a tragedy unfolds somewhere deep within. When we cease to trust, we lose a part of ourselves. When trust disappears from our lives and times, insecurity creeps into the innermost part of our being. Insecurity breeds fear and fear breeds insecurity. Fear and insecurity together create the ground for alienation. Alienation erodes creativity and hope. Absence of hope is the beginning of fear.
The root cause of violence to ourselves or to others is the entrenched sense of fear and insecurity.

Solidarity
Solidarity is an act of identifying with other human beings with a shared sense of destiny, dignity and responsibility. Solidarity is based on the principles of mutual empathy, mutual support and the greater common good. Solidarity helps us to go beyond the greed of the self to the need of other people, societies and countries. It seeks to promote the sustainability of human beings and environment.

Morning  Walk

My morning walk ended at a Railway cross at Adichira, near Kottayam.
 We all have so many such Railway crossings in our Life 
where we have to stop , think and cross with caution.
