We are interdependent

Sitting quietly this morning, my mind kept flicking between the quiet truly awe-inducing expanse of the universe - even of our known universe - and the violence we inflict on each other as human beings. We have so many resources, and we use them to create borders, to make machines for destruction and death, and to train people to destroy things and kill other people.

I have nothing insightful to say about this. It is heartbreaking and the juxtaposition is surreal.

Most of us have not been taught how to deal with conflict constructively, or to even see conflict as something that could be constructive. We learn early that asking for help is seen as a weakness and discouraged. Yet we are interdependent, on each other, on nature, and on the universe. We are one whole.
