Shortly after the events that took place on the morning of September 11th, 2001 - even within hours, some might speculate -we saw a great coming together of the people of the United States. In spite of differences, we consoled, comforted, talked to neighbors like they were old friends, and the list goes on.
Many people came together worldwide on February 15th, 2003 (yes, almost thirteen years ago) in order to protest the coming inevitable invasion and war of Iraq.
However, since that time we have seen a great divide in the world,
especially the United States. We are allowing our differences to tear us
apart, separate us,and divide us. Yes, we do need to realize our
differences, and acknowledge that we will always have some external or
internal differences. Yet, these differences should not tear at the very
core of our existence and humanity. Embrace the differences of your
friend, co-workers, friends, and neighbors.
We may not always see eye-to-eye on some things, but with other things we do. We may not see eye-to-eye but we can acknowledge our similarities and find a common ground with our differences.
Don't allow other people - politicians, media, or anyone - to further this divide. Find common ground with fellow man and live in peace, love, and kindness. It is our only hope of not advancing the "Doomsday Clock". I have hope we can do it.
