We cannot love our “enemies.”
We’re in it together. Whether or not we are consciously aware of it, all humans–and all life on this planet and everything in the universe–are connected and affect each other. The more we take this into account, the better off we are.
Life is a whole, inherently capable of sustaining itself and evolving. As part of this whole, we’re each doing the best we know at any given moment, our choices limited only by our temporary ignorance and fear; we have infinite capacity to learn and change. In collaboration we can build responsive, evolving systems that support us in creating harmony and full sufficiency. By choosing such a path we can face whatever comes with love and creativity. Life lives, generosity generates, creativity creates, we are choice.
