Higher EmotionsSeptember 23, 2005 8:26 pm
Men, Women
Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, Taoists etc.
Caucasians, Asians, Africans, Latins, Native Americans etc.
These are the separation in humanity.
Each group of people expresses that they are right or they are better than others.
Comparing, Competing, Fighting, Going to war and killing etc.
Choose to let go the attachment towards the differences.
We are all humans.
We are all living beings with life and free will.
We do not need to treat people conditionally.
Higher emotions (love, compassion, gratitude) lead to unity.
Lower emotions (hatred, greed, envy, pride) lead to separation.
True. I don’t deny this entry. Because of greed, inhumanity, jealousy.. We are all seperated. Tsk.

Seperation is natural. We use walls to seperate ourselves from the elements, fences from our neighbors, and even categories on blogs to seperate blog entries into common containers.
It is natural. However, it is a shame when because of religious, political, or personality issues, we denegrate one another.
Accepting a diversity of perspective and being able to maintain respect for our fellow man would be my response to this entry. I am a Christian living in a non-Christian context. I am white living in a non-white context. But, in it all, I am a person like everyone else. We have a common thread and that is that we are alive and searching for truth and relevence.
I think we embrace diversity and recognize where we have unity. I am comfortable in both situations.
