Still, again, now, we as mankind face the threat of massacring one another over our perceived differences. It is the anger and resentment, the hate that siblings can hold against one another. What can rile up more explosive emotion than the sense of being betrayed by your brother, your sister? Nothing! And so we are so broken in our hearts and minds, our spirits, when in idea and emotion there is a separation between members of our human family.

We are, each of us, a member of this family. We walk this earth together and try our best to make decisions that bring us to greater survival for ourselves, our immediate families, our groups and our greater family of mankind. Most of us want the best for ourselves and others. So, what sets us off and sends us into rage, explosive and deal? What about that sense of injustice, that sense of betrayal of closely held beliefs?

How do we determine what makes another "other" enough to be hated? What creates that separation with so much pain that it turns to deep hatred, deep rage?
What happens when someone we are intimately connected with moves away without our consent? And what if this is on a societal level? Or more tenderly,and more far reachingly, on a spiritual level?

Real communication, a true intention to create and have understanding of and with another being; a willingness to understand the beliefs and thoughts of a separate group, can be created and so we can come closer again to the beginning of unifying us as mankind. Understanding leads to trust. Trust makes understanding on a deep level, possible. L. Ron Hubbard says,"Mutual trust is the firmest building block in human relationships. Without it the whole structure comes down."

Maybe this is a place we can start.
