The world must unite under a universal truth. At the moment we are divided by religions and ideologies, while we share a planet. We have built a strong ego who tells us that they are separated from each other, but underneath this veil is clear we all share motivations, fears and similar joys. We must see that we are not different from one another, if it is of the race human survive. Our biggest threat is ourselves. All our costumes courtesy and civilization, is hidden inside an animal tilting outside when it is threatened with extinction.
Did you noticed that the evils of the world do not change no matter how much change us life materially? In the past, we suffer under the dictatorship of Kings and emperors who often use their power in cruel ways. In the last few hundred years we replaced old systems of Government with other forms. Communism, apparently the most utopian form of Government on paper, did exactly the opposite when practiced in real life. Now most of the world lives in a democracy it is supposed that it gives us the freedom and prosperity. The truth is that we cannot have a true peace, justice, prosperity or liberty without changing ourselves. The problem is not the system, is United States, human beings. As we do not change, do not recognize that each of us is the barrier to unity and understanding, there will be still suffering on this earth.
Religions, although all have pieces of useful wisdom in them, are vehicles incredible violence and very effective barriers against others. There is hardly a week that it passes by I not hear about on the news religious fundamentalist violence. It is not only Islam either, many religions (if not all) are guilty of inciting violence against "the other". Can we think rationally about these events and find out what is in the heart of all this? What is so deeply ingrained in our subconscious mind that we all have to be so violent and defensive without understand completely why? Could it be fear of death, our knowledge of our existence seemingly meaningless in a chaotic universe? One has to wonder if we are fighting to defend something because the ground is only stable above we can find to walk. But it is possible that everyone can find common ground to stand, that unites us in a common purpose? We have to find, either our self-destruction of common destiny.
Is it possible that all religions have the great puzzle pieces? Do science and religion come together to show us the way? Can we see the wisdom in the philosophies of all and overcome our defensive ego?
In this age of globalization and increasing global interconnectedness, we cannot live blindly any longer.
