Being caught between a rock and a hard place makes us reflect every day about the following day, and we are all dealing with this now.
We must start bridging the gap between our natural egoistic urges, and nature’s demand that is working to unite us to one so that we don’t find ourselves at the heart of an even greater crisis.
We must take preemptive measures now, and begin a new education for an integrated, connected, and cohesive society, which encourages contribution to society.
Mutual connection above our egoistic conflicts and differences is no longer a luxury, but a necessity, and must become the highest value in society.
Connecting around one point — our common humanity — above partisanship and tribalism, because without it we crumble and become lost. And we will make this change in a systematic and gradual manner.
As an integral part of nature, we have the right to determine nature’s attitude and next move toward us.
Josia – Welcome! And you enter the 360′ community with a powerful message: “above partisanship and tribalism.” I hope to live to see that day. It all starts with working at our level to make it happen.
You will Jeff – we’ll all live to see it – it’s coming soon. Thanks for the welcome!
Welcome Josia, as you already know, to a fantastic community. You wrote a love and important essay. Yes, we must past our differences. Otherwise, we will ”crumble” as you eloquently wrote. Thank you!💖
Josia – Great piece to introduce yourself to the BC360 community. Welcome! May you enjoy respectful engagement and meet fellow writers who provide encouragement. Finally, may you discover new online friends who become dear to you.
Thank you Len! Many of them already are my friends 🙂
Josia! How wonderful to see you here! Welcome! I have so enjoyed reading your work. You bring such a rich perspective. I think the US lens is so individualistic that you allow us to see a different possibility in the collective.
Exactly Kimberly & thank you!! We do come to everything with our ego and that’s exactly what we need to learn to override. We can keep everything that makes us unique and special – we just need to be aware of how the system works and how it wants us to match its interdependent qualities.
