Do some people have a quicker rate of emotional & spiritual growth than others?

I think that some people don not stop amusing me of their rate of development. Some keep growing, that is fabulous. Others grow until they reach static plateau, others deteriorate and keep on deteriorating, and that is also astonishing.

As healthy food-one of many- is a requirement of good physical life, emotional life has to have healthy food in order to keep growing. I do believe that emotions are related to our humanity and one way to keep our emotional life healthy and flourishing is to look into our humanity. It is so important to be able as humans to feel, sense, to be in touch with other sentibeings feelings. Then the focus should be on our human growth instead of emotional growth.

Humans enrich their life by thinking of others.

“Altruism is the ultimate source of happiness”
Dalai Lama instructions.

Others should be other humans or things. Humans who are completely strangers put my believes into the stake. What do I see when I first meet a stranger? What do I look for?
I say to myself repeatedly that I should just keep thinking of others as human’s brothers not brothers in my country or religion or color or race or gender. Humans are humans no matter how they look different. Our humanity must not be strained by any thing whether social, religious or cultural.

I don t know exactly the right way to enrich our humanity. Maybe there is no one right way, but I m confident if there is a common bath that all these ways intersect will be to keep your eyes and soul open for others. If I have a good reception then signals can be from a novel, poem, film, picture, and gesture from a street musician in a sunny day, smile from a child, or “Hi” from old lady in a cloudy morning. Yet, thinking and contemplating these signs is essential in our growth.

Why some people develop faster? They just devote more time to think about these issues, more means to practice their humanity. They might meditate using Buddhism instructions or Marijuana. They might contemplate on the edge of a cliff or in a bus back home after tough work day.

Others don not develop because they did not think of it or may be they think of other things or they don t have enough time. Maybe it is more simple than that : some people have rich internal life ,others don not.

Imagine :

If I collect carefully 70 drops of yesterday’s rain, which would be around 5 ml of pure water, and I convert it into dense, concentrated genuine love. Then I inject it into her beautiful, well made veins under her transparent skin; would that be enough to wait me just few more months?

Would that make any difference in the number of the ovum in her ovaries? Assuming that the number they told us is true and not just another lie: Who is going to heaven: We? Who is going to hell: them? Lies...

I believed always in the equality between men and women and I know that you did but why never put it into acts? We might have gained more than a family.
Truth is always there, just needs some time, long time or couple of herbs and a chance to meditate.
