Every moment is a fresh enlightenment if you can maintain yourself with a happy mood and compassionate heart and perform your work or chores full-heartedly, beneficial to all sentient beings and dedicate your merits to all of them.

Without sentient beings, where and how can we develop our loving-kindness and compassion. All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas come back to this world again and again as monks, gurus and ordinary beings to help them to realise their true nature so that one day through awakening, they will attain buddhahood or sainthood.

Our mind creates our own world and we create also heaven and hell at the same time. The moment we are dominated by the five poisons; greed, anger, ignorance, doubt and pride, we are living in the burning fire of hell, our awareness and mindfullness have completely not there any more. The moment we follow the eightfold path and the five precepts, we are living in heaven where our energy of compassion and loving-kindness just sprang out like a fountain for all sentient beings and we are in joy and peacefulness.

What has gone wrong with this super power? The super-richs just stand-by holding to their wealth and own interest. Can't they help the government?
A critical component to a healthy life is nutrition. From bi
rth, the intake of vital nutrients is essential to the growth and development of a healthy individual. Good nutrition, particularly in the first three years of life, is important in establishing and maintaining a good foundation that has implications on a child’s future physical and mental health, academic achievement, and economic productivity. Unfortunately, food insecurity is an obstacle that threatens that critical foundation.
In the United States, more than one out of five children lives in a household with food insecurity, which means they do not always know where they will find their next meal. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), 16.7 million children under 18 in the United States live in this condition – unable to consistently access nutritious and adequate amounts of food necessary for a healthy life. In 2009, the top five states with the highest rate of food insecure children under 18 are the District of Columbia, Oregon, Arizona, Arkansas, & Texas. 20% or more of the child population in 40 states and D.C. lived in food insecure households in 2009.

For those who are egoistic will experience a great downfall in life.
Ego is actually a form of energy within us which can not be destroyed. It can destroy us if we are not aware of it. Just be mindful of it, it can not do anything that is destructive or harmful. Just watch it comes and goes, and tame it like taming a tiger. It is possible.
