We Are All One

I just got back from a trip to Peurto Vallarta and stayed at an all inclusive. All inclusive's clearly are not my thing. It was my first time to stay at one. There is an interesting mentality when staying at an all inclusive. A sense of entitlement to the abundance. I personally found it a little difficult to watch people pile food on their plate and discard some of it in a country where there is clearly poverty. I found it difficult to the way guests treated the hard working staff. As if they were there personal staff for the week without hardly a please and thank you. The interesting thing is that people say that I am a snob. And I am. On some level. I like nice things. I work hard and have no dependants so I have the luxury of my pay cheque being all for me. And I spend it all on me. Does that make me a snob? I don't think so. How I treat people is what really matters. I hope and pray that I go through life treating people as equals. What stops me from truly honouring that is when people play out their issues and I am impacted. I always must remind myself that I cannot change the world. But I can continue to work on me and change me.
