Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraphs 5-7 in chapter 12 of the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."  (page 93)

"Think abut how all this makes you more significant, not less.  It takes all the different parts of a body to make it work.  If the foot said, "I'm not elegant like a hand adorned with bejeweled rings.  I might as well run away."  Or if the ears said, "I'm not as expressive as the eyes, I might as well close up shop."

Just so with our body of humanity. Everyone has a purpose.  Everyone is special.  Some may seem more special, but don't you believe it.  We believe in the dignity of the individual.

I remind you that no one should regard themselves as better or more important than anyone else.  We all have that tendency to think we are  more important than others, so we need to be on guard about that.  The eyes are necessary, but we wouldn't want to be just a big eyeball.

Commentary:  Whatever your role or position is in this life, don't you think that your role has been important to someone else? And this one lifetime is just one link in the chain of your lives.
