Do Unto Others

I wish I could find the worlds to say, which would bring the world together. I have thought about what they might be:

“Love others as you love yourself”

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”

Are those one and the same? I think not. Loving is not doing.

Humans do terrible things to other humans every day. Just this past week, mass murders have been in the news every….single…day.

Children are being mistreated. Woman are being abused. People who are of different races, creeds, sexual persuasion, and religions are being despised and damned.

“Do unto others………”

I try to think of the words to say which would bring the world together, but it is hard. We are one species of creatures “homo sapiens sapiens” How did we get to the place where there are so many “divisions”. Who decides where the “borders” of a country are? Why are there borders?

Who decides who’s religion is the “right” one? Many a war has been fought over that contentious question….but we still don’t have agreement. Why do people of one ethnic group hate people from a different group? When they born as tiny babies, did they already hate each other? If you place a white and a black toddler in the same playroom, would they call each other names?

“Love others as you would love yourself”

No matter what you are celebrating tomorrow, or if you are not…try to think of the words to say to make the world a better place. Start at home, and teach your children differently then you were taught, unless you are a truly enlightened person. There’s not many of those around.
