Put another way, it's cool to have an extraordinary purpose, so long as you don't make the mistake of thinking others don't.
My purpose is to be the next Jesus Christ, the one who enlightens everybody on the planet to experience the limitlessness of it all, including themselves. But before I can get to there, I have to be able to respect everybody I see, meet or hear of, no matter what have done, and understand why, and also realise that my own purpose, in the scheme of things, is microscopic, and respect the fact that everybody I meet may well have a purpose far, far greater than mine. I can hardly yet throw a piece of litter in the bin and get it right. |
