Just curious

How many of us actually, really pray for the Tharparkar Famine Struck, the Fugate Quadruplets, the missing Malaysian Airline plane and the grief struck families, the Philippines typhoon survivors, the Cancer Research for kids (and adults), the Aging Brain Research (dementia/ Alzheimer's/ Parkinson's), Salman Taseer's son missing/ kidnapped for over a year, complete eradication of Polio, AIDS and Taliban from the world and so many more causes, whatever is close to one's heart and one comments on a post on Facebook or retweets something on Twitter.
We need to do this. In the midst of praying for more money, power, visas, jobs everything that we need immediately, we need to live up to each promise we make on social platforms to pray for or our heart involuntarily clenches at.
As Stephen R Covey (may his soul rest in peace) would say. We need to be able to differentiate between and address that what is urgent from that what us important. In our quest to attend to all that's urgent, we allow the important to suffer and lag behind.
When it all boils down to wishing, praying, asking for anything of the sort, one facilitates the other.
Look out, pray for others, humanity, masses and your personal life will sort itself out. It may just be the sense of well being one would derive otherwise from social care that leads to an enormous level of fulfilment, self sustenance, peace and satisfaction that just makes life a beautiful place to be.
Whether or not it's spiritual/ religious, it does have an impact.
Zen, feng shui of sorts, inner peace.
Believe in something. Something that's common whether or not you're a believer.
Believe in the remarkable power of goodness.
