With the current political climate in our country the people seem to be more divided than ever. In these times it can be difficult to find any common ground with your fellow man. Our own perceptions about life and how we see it to be sets up barriers between ourselves and others. We tend to label and separate ourselves which is the last thing we need in this most important time in our history. No matter how you perceive the world to be we all crave to be free, we all want to be loved and to love, and we all seek for a better world filled with truth and justice.
Though we may have different thoughts on what each of these things mean this is where we can find our common ground. Knowing that all people want these things is what gives hope that a better future is possibly. To know this and to respect that each person has the ability to differentiate between what is right and what is wrong is to connect with your fellow man. Though it can get messy with different perceptions on what that looks like it is important to know that people grow and change and with them so do their perceptions.
During this time of great division we are in desperate need of healing. We need to get to a better place and build a better world for future generations. There are plenty of obstacles in our way and we don’t need to create any more by throwing up barriers to keep us separated from others. We are all humans dealing with the world as it is, trying to survive and build better lives for ourselves and our families. We are all participants in the human struggle trying to find our way and make things better. For far too long we have divided and labeled ourselves leaving the world stagnant to change. Now, it is time the heal the divide.
