On Community and “Oneness”

We as a community – are all an important components that make up one functioning body. It may be easier to understand this concept in the physical sense of our own bodies: Try to have a good day when you have a toothache, a headache or your feet are bothering you. No part is more important that than the others; each has its own role and relationships. When each part is fully functioning and flourishing, the entire body is fluid and able to achieve its purpose.

This concept, once deeply rooted in understanding, affects the way we treat everyone around us – in our communities, our friendships and our families. There is no room for pride or posturing once we realize that we cannot function at our best if we don’t want the best for everyone.

- Excerpt from Kristin Armstrong, Living Faith

About me: I give Economic, Social and Global trend briefings from some of the world's brightest minds at my blog http://saveriomanzo.com/ and http://saveriomanzo.blogspot.com/. I also provide true and tested financial planning and wealth advice. Most recently, over the past few years, I have become socially conscious and have been attempting to practise ways in which I can live my life more environmentally friendly.   Along with some truly exceptional friends, we provide consulting and business development for small-medium sized businesses.  In addition, I truly believe in being philanthropic, giving and doing unto other as we would have them do unto us. Some of my fondest resources are from Barry Ritholtz of The Big Picture, David Rosenberg and what Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway is up to behind the scenes, as an example.
