We Are One!

Hi. Welcome to Practicing Truth.

Today's topic: a brief reminder that no matter our differences, we are all equal as human beings!

But first, let me credit today's featured music: We Are One, by Maze, featuring Frankie Beverly.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you take what I say as food for thought.

Have a fabulous day!

Male, female, race, ethnicity, nationality, socio-economic status, we are all equal as human beings. We all have the right to live and breathe free from oppression, tyranny, and the threat to life and limb. Whether the threat to freedom is local or across miles of ocean, it concerns us all.

To ignore or debate whether to aid another in their fight against oppression and tyranny is to ally ourselves with it. Though we are ultimately responsible for ourselves, we are our brother's keeper. And also responsible for each other. Our survival as a species depends on our cooperation with each other. Divided, we will not endure.

That which measures and divides us by our differences is unnatural. One group of people chosen by God over another; slavery; indentured servitude; wives submissive to their husbands or vice versa; and other manners of division are all human-created concepts. And to accept such, under any pretense, is to hasten humanity's social demise.

The Divine Law's first tenet is to love God with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your being. And the Foundation of Understanding further explains that to do so, we must first, love ourselves, the humanness of other people, and the inherent divinity within all God has created in the same manner we are to love God. Unconditionally!

We cannot meet this requirement divided!

We are one. Our differences do not make us enemies. And it is long past the time to recognize that we have outgrown whatever teaches us otherwise!

Thanks for listening.
