Beauty of Beginnings - April 25th - Humanity
|
Humanity Is when any child, no matter the colour of their skin, the place of their birth, their ableness or lack thereof, is looked upon with a love and care you would hold for your child. Humanity is where the death of any child cuts your heart. Sometimes, the pain is so hard to bear that you must take a break from the endless horror. Humanity is connection to the creatures. Tenderness to our animals. Kindness. We can be broken. We can lash out from our pain. But we cannot deny the pain we feel when people do horrible things to others. Our humanity enables us to feel shame when we say an unkind word, or intentionally hurt another. The moment we lose this feeling, the shame of hurting another creature, we have begun our journey into darkness. Humanity is to know we are interdependent, that what I do to you will be done to me, and the cost will be paid by everyone.

When we focus on one group of ‘victims’ of hate, placing the hate projected against them as needing a...
Finding the humanity behind the chaos If we humans are to create a more beautiful world that our hearts know is possible, we must be able to come together, across a table, with our differences and find common ground. Human coordination, collaboration and co-creation are essential to our healthy future. When we sit with our petty annoyances, holding fierce to our righteousness, and project judgment upon the other, the ways of war, separation, colonisation and division thrive. Beneath the...
When they come for peace protestors join the protest First, they came for the peace protestors, and I did not speak up. Evil begins with small, seemingly innocuous acts—the kinds of acts we dismiss as too small or irrelevant. Upon the first act – for example – the act of threatening and arresting peace protesters or the explosion from a country of those who seek to speak for the oppressed – the second act builds. By our permission. Our silence makes us complicit. Genocide doesn’t happen...
