TRIBALISM WILL SURELY KILL US ALL

Like a pack of hungry wolves, we seek to eat and destroy our prey. That hunger that thirst that cannot be satisfied can eat us alive. When some of us have all that we need we want more. More than we can ever use. More and more and more that is our mantra. When disasters happen, we are instructed to consume more for the cause. But that is only instinct. However, it does not serve the good, our good or the collective good or the greater good.

Our economic system is based on consumption. More hunter than a gatherer. We rely on a cheap source of energy that destroys the environment when new economies can build on newer more sustainable and environmentally friendly renewable forms of energy i.e. solar, winds, waves. We can leverage what is already there. That is Humane – for us and our home.

Animals take care of their homes, dens, hives, nests, we destroy and spoil what was given us with our never-ending appetites.  Preservation and now restoration must be our focus lest we kill ourselves and our home.

We divide ourselves into the haves and have nots. We have a cast system of the rich and not rich this is our culture. This only broadens the already great divide and the gulf between us. When what is needed is inclusion not division to make us whole, perfect and complete.

We are not there yet. But we can be. We need to change our minds and our hearts to countermand our actions. Action is what is needed. Not rhetoric but action, passion and compassion and forgiveness. To forgive is divine, right?

Why is it that people vote contrary to their interests? Why do they surrender freedom for security? If someone says one thing yet does another and you still believe blindly you have yourself to blame.

We must cease to cherish our opinions. Question our beliefs. Release our convictions. Then we will be able to see in a holographic 360-degree spectrum what is best for the good.

If you shade the truth in any way, you are blocking the light.
