***Insight*** Our Challenge

If our world has a fundamental problem from which all others spring, I would say it would have to be this: our world is one of hatred and war.

We hate that which we do not understand. We pick sides. Anyone who isn't like us are scorned. Hatred begets hatred. We would rather hate something without cause than ally ourselves with the hated out of reason.

Despite what the law may say, in peoples minds' the accusation without cause outweighs the defense without cause.

We live in a world where war can be waged over a single person and can continue such struggles for hundreds of years.

We are indifferent enough and unfeeling when presented with anothers problem, but when we ourselves become afflicted, we expect the caring of others.

People's enemies almost always outlast friendships.

Our hatreds can sometimes prevent us from doing that which we know is right, and disregard our duties.

Hatred is a child of ignorance.

This is our world's problem that was put into place as our main osbtacle and challenge.

We need to keep and open mind and be wise. Wise to all the workings of the world but most of all, wise to other people and looking as deep as we can within them to try and find out what that person is like in their heart of hearts.

We need not pick sides, but seek to blur the line that divides them. We must not assume or be prejudice. We cannot rely on the word of others.

We need to drop our swords, pick up our pens, and remember that we are all fruit of the same tree.
