“I cannot do all the good that the world needs. But the world needs all the good that I can do.” - JANA STANFIELD

The CP Diary

I have always bought into the spiritual philosophies into my writing. You reap what you sow... 'you have to deal with the bad effects or results of something that you originally started' - (source: thefreedictionarycom)

Turning a blind eye or choosing to ignore the facts, doesn’t make non-truths. We reap what we sow, what we put out determines what we will get back. Currently we're getting a lot of the wrong stuff back. We're not protecting nature, nature is fighting back.

Celebrity SAS

Watching Matt Hancock on Celebrity SAS, while being interrogated, he was asked about the pandemic and his role as Health Secretary and admitted how breaking the rules, he’d set for everyone else, hastened his demise, as did acknowledging the affair with his aide in the pandemic. He got divorced and his life fell apart.

He now lives with regret and guilt. It is important to be honest with ourselves and those close to us because our dishonesty will come back and we will ‘reap what we sow.'

The Politicians

We are reaping what the government have sown. There is a slump in the housing market. I know that because in the last month, we have been wanting to move home. My twin lived three doors away. With her not in my life now would be a good time to move.

The politicians tend to give us what they want us to hear. The current housing market is not favourable for those looking to sell their homes and move to a new property. Even if their current home has increased in value, the cost of purchasing a new home may be too high. On top of the move, you also have stamp duty to pay.

They need to be honest

The politicians must be honest with us. Climate change is happening at a fast rate because we're seeing it play out in real-time through floods, fires and droughts. They need to work diligently together and with other countries to reverse some of the damage that's been done. The science doesn’t lie. The natural world also needs our attention. The world must get on board with climate change.

Climate change and ecosystems

As a result of climate change, the ecosystems we have come to rely on are breaking, and we need to act diligently. What we put out, we get back, we reep what we sow, and sometimes we may get karma and/or other people's karma back. A good example is what is happening in politics. We are all living the consequences of their actions and life has become difficult.

We can all do good in the world. The world is facing droughts, floods and fires, those are happening at hastening pace, we're reaping what we're sowing and we're continuing. It is time to stop that, take control, to help heal the natural world, to keep us and the natural world safe for future generations.
