Despair is actually a very good word for it ONLY if we don't keep our eyes on the ball.
Listen to the following story:
I'm standing on line at the supermarket and I feel the shopping cart behind me nudging me.
I turn around to see why someone is doing this 'to me'.
What I see is a man playing with his infant who's sitting in shopping cast.
He's holding the infants hands and just moving them back and forth.
This attention given to the infant is enough to keep that infant in a state of almost permanent laughter.
This infant is happy. My father is aware of me. My father is paying attention to me. My father cares about me.
At this point my 'annoyance' at being nudged by this man, his infant, and the shopping cart, was transformed into 'serenity'.
I realized that my initial reaction was unwarranted because my initial focus was 'on me' and not on the world around me of which I am an integral part.
Serenity is not an overreaction and not an overstatement. As I recall the event, that's the only word that comes to mind.
But that's not the whole story.
Now that I had returned to my senses and re-realized that the world does not revolve around me, I began to look around.
Right there in the next line behind the next register was another shopping cart.
This shopping cart also had an infant in it. All alone, waiting for their parent to return from where-ever.
This infant was completely fixated on the goings on in the shopping cart behind me.
Was this second infant angry that he wasn't getting the same type of attention?
Was this infant jealous at the joy of the infant behind me?
No, and no!
He was completely mesmerized and elated. A permanent smile on his face. He was enjoying the happiness of another human being.
In those moments, this infant was happy. I dare say just as happy as the one behind me.
So I asked myself, 'How could this be?'
And then I re-realized that we are truly all connected. I had forgotten this fact as I and many of us so often do.
The moral of the story?
Just like happiness is 'contagious', so is 'despair'. I would posit that all of our human emotions are contagious.
And if this is true, as shown by the event that I was witness to yesterday, then all we heed to do in order to feel good is to focus on those things that are positive in the world around us.
That world of which each and every one of us are an integral part.
That focus away from 'me' and onto 'we' will make me feel good and engender a positive attitude.
That will in turn affect some one else around 'me' and bring them into a positive outlook as well.
We are all connected.
We all have the power to change the world.
One 'me' at a time.
