[Grovenet] world-weary plea

[deenaellen at verizon.net]

Just for today


Could we all just stop, all over the world, and look at the humanity in each other’s eyes? Greed, hatred, anger, fear
and revenge are killing us all, and perpetuating themselves with each bullet, each blow, each word of hate. 

It’s so simple, and yet so hard. All we have to do is to stop. To think. To understand that we are all equal as humans. To replace that selfish word or deed with one that recognizes the dignity and worth of the “enemy”, exactly as they are in this moment in time. To take a millisecond to see from behind the eyes of the “other.” Until we all do that, the bombs will continue to explode, the bullets to fly, the earth to be exploited. Fathers, mothers, children, our beloved will continue to suffer and die at the hands of others for no reason other than selfishness, greed, anger, and fear. 

Peace be with you all.

Just for today, and all days.
