Blogs > Within and Inside

This blog is one about symbiosis. Its purpose is to help those out there going through hard times to find solace within. Through the act of questioning our society’s issues and dilemmas, as well as comparing large scale problems to personal ones, we can find a better understanding as who we truly are and how we truly operate. Once we have a firm understanding to this inner dimension our problems will seem less problematic.   This is, perhaps, the grandest of all goals.

Love Thy Neighbor

Our roots as pack animals seem to have carried with us even to this day. Naturally, we separate and form groups that reflect our personal traits and attributes, but there is something new in our human experience. With the proliferation and magnification of thought, our complexity has brought us to a sort of precipice. We can no longer shun out our neighbors without harming and damaging ourselves. We are truly becoming one community and if we do not take care of the community (the separate pieces to the whole puzzle) the entire civilization will fall. Specifically speaking, the great religions of the world need to unify, at least in some form of acceptance. There will never be a converting of all humans into "my" tribe simply because "my" tribe only exists because there are other tribes out there.

Perhaps I am defeating myself with my own advice. Perhaps what this means is that such acceptance is not possible. However, similar to the statement above, if total non-acceptance exists as the majority outlook, then acceptance is, by default, absolutely possible. Perhaps the real question is: Are you willing to accept people into your community?
