Dear World:
I’m reaching out to request that we slow down, take stock, and recalibrate. It’s evident that we have lost our way.
We have been so caught up in the illusory notions of dominance and supremacy that we have forgotten our roots—the wellspring of who we are—not based on culture, religious affiliation, or ideology, but our common humanity—our fundamental coexistence, grounded in the shared need to live, be healthy, happy, and most of all, to matter.
Reciprocity and coexistence are not synonymous with codependence; rather, the need for each other is tantamount to strength—the consolidation of multitudes in the shared acknowledgment that we are essentially one world, one family.
When we take a breath in one corner of the world, we exhale in another—that very same life breath that sustains all of us.
We are all vulnerable to the forces of nature, happenstance, growth, and decline, and when we know joy or pain, that human experience reverberates.
None exists in isolation.
None was born to be a party ideologue, to practice a given belief system, or wear particular garb. These are facades— superficial indicators of our essence.
By dint of fate, we were born into certain places and cultures, and by that same twist of whimsical fortune, we could have landed anywhere.
Judgment is the bane of our existence.
Instead, we would do well to stop, listen, and embrace, not seek to annihilate. In doing so, we hold a mirror to ourselves and recognize ourselves in “the other.”
At that glorious moment of self-realization, we are whole and can freely declare, with conviction,
“I love you.”
