It is not important to know all the minute details of each and
every injustice taking place in the world. It is surely enough to know that our
inhumanity to each other and our insensitivity to the needs of others is what are
destroying us and our world.
Our cult of the individual, family, community, national, religious
and ethnical selfishness keeps us separated. We are drawing boundaries between
us when we need to be cooperating. We pursue our own beliefs as 'right' and
condemn the so called 'wrongs' of others. The fact that we are all doing this
surely causes our numerous problems?
If I call what you do and believe is wrong, then surely you have
the right do the same to me and nothing is resolved. This soon leads to
conflict with jealousies, envy and condemnation. Hatred follows and all this is
violence toward the other which leads to feuds and wars and so our human
conflict and misery continues.
To hide behind any nation, religion or system for our own safety,
because we ultimately feel insecure, only continues the injustices we are
surrounded and involved in every day of our lives.
Can we understand why we do this and in the understanding stop
doing it?
