A group member posted a question at our group, and I answered his question with these:
How can one makes Lavezares a beautiful place to live in?
To my humble opinion, the answer to this question lies in each of us, lies in you. I would say it is one making a difference, and that difference does not need to be coming from big ideas nor big accomplishments. It should come from doing the small things with great love as Mother Teresa would say when this great woman was still alive. We should always remember that big things come from small things.
To give you an example, it is showing concern, your love and care to each member in your family. How could one show his love and concern for others while one could not see that somebody inside his/her family needs his/her concern or love. A family is considered the basic unit of the society. A very small unit, yet a very powerful one which greatly molds children to become good citizens of this world. I may never become a parent someday due to my personal preference but I could manifest my love and concern to anyone in my family. I could not give everything that is material that they need, but what I am sure is that I can give my time. Simply, by showing your time, by listening to your brother or sister’s problem/s, means a lot already. Through a family, one’s fate can be determined. Through a family, we can create more Mother Teresa, meaning more caring people. Or through a family we can create more Adolf Hitler if we would all want, meaning more uncaring ones.
Jesus came into this world through a family, through the Holy Family in Nazareth. And I would say that Jesus gave much importance to the value of the family.
I may never have come from a perfect family for that would be very impossible nor I cannot choose who could be my parents nor siblings, but at least by correcting the mistakes of the past would mean a lot already. By sharing to others the wisdom you have gained from your past, the experiences of your family would mean a lot.
Do you want to have a better place live in, in this case, Lavezares? I would recommend that one should start in his/her family, the very basic unit of society. For the world would become a better place, and not a perfect one, once we raise children in GOOD families.
But before all this, change should come from yourself. It should always come from you.
