One sixth of the world’s population lives on a dollar a day. Another sixth lives on two dollars a day. The global middle class lives on $3,000 to $5,000 per year. What would it feel like to be a person who lives on a dollar a day – or three thousand dollars a year?
What would it feel like to have your wallet or purse taken from you, then your cell phone, credit cards, passport and access to any outside help? Then imagine being kept locked up in domestic, labor or sexual servitude for years. Americans had the shame of slavery on our hands until it was abolished. However, human slavery exists as the largest cartel on the planet with an estimated 2,000,000 men, women and children trafficked each year.
A human life – fragile dreams; precious, meaningful, and sacred. The question is “How much is a human life worth?” In fact, an appropriate exercise would be to imagine being kidnapped and held for ransom. How much is your own life worth? Is it worth your entire estate to save your life? And then, is another life worth that much as well?
What are the acts of bold courage we can take outside of our comfort zone to reach out to another person in potent ways? How can we push ourselves far past our limits of safety and comfort to really and truly help another?
PeaceKeeper’s Eternal Equity Gloss asks the question, “What does true eternal equity look like where no one thrives at the expense of someone else?” True equity for all; what Founder, Jody R. Weiss calls “Collaborative Interdependence.” True Eternal Equity, where our empowerment and fulfillment is deeply tied to all other people on the planet and where we won’t rest until we know that we all can thrive.
PeaceKeeping starts with the small things in life; the way we treat ourselves and our families and the way we use our buying power collectively on products that heal the world. These acts, large and small, enable us to make an evolutionary choice of sustaining ourselves while sustaining the world. That is why PeaceKeeper calls this Beauty For Humanity. We say “Empowering You, Empowers Me.” Now That’s Beautiful™.
