Description:
The abandonment of individuals by societies and their governments is both unjustifiable and unforgivable.
The Planet Earth will continue to shelter the Kingdoms of Barbarism and Insanity as long as there is a single human being insisting on not recognizing the integrity of everyone else, near or far from you. A single individual “from below” can implode the entire civilizing process, sucking it to its level and annihilating any efforts to achieve social justice, peace and planetary harmony.
There is an urgent need to recognize the fullness, the fragility and the power to add each one and everyone.
Nobody is despicable, nobody is harmless, all life is of value. No nation is despicable, no nation is harmless, every nation is of value. No ethnicity is despicable, no ethnicity is harmless, all ethnicity is of value. No people are despicable, no people are harmless, all people are of value.Either we assume, each of us, our responsibility to the whole, taking care to respect it, or we will be much closer to our own extinction than we could imagine.
