@lymepoet, your writing style moves me. I look forward to reading many more of your posts. 🌱

These are powerful, powerful words.

People don't change their habits or mindsets easily, unless they are faced with a life-threatening situation which requires a radical solution. Even in such a case, some of them will refuse the challenge and chose a sad end instead of a chance to improve their survival skills.

I think this is the crux of the situation, truly. I think we are being asked as humans to change and to create change in a way that has not been tested in our human history. We have faced disasters that led to humans taking sides against other humans, creating the false concept of otherness. This type of thought can be sustained indefinitely, because there is always a way to determine differences - to separate ourselves from another. However, I see that there is an ultimate shift coming in our collective consciousness. We must choose to see the truth in that we are all one, and all connected to all things on Mother Earth. This is radical thinking that could lead to radical change, that could result in permanent, unchangeable peace. If we see the threads of energy that weave all things into one, we could no longer act in otherness.

I am hopeful that the people open to changing their habits or mindsets will outnumber those who will refuse the challenge and chose a sad end.
