Same Difference

Every ill that happens to this world, to us, to anything

is when there is injury to love, caring, or respect

We are all so appalled when we hear that someone did something to someone else

Yet we are appalled simply because we understand the fine lines that are crossed for that to even happen

And it scares us on an instinctive level that we are failing each other

And we don't want to feel or feel that we can't control ourselves

That we can not stop these things, so we talk about it happening to others, truly in fear that it could be us

We are all different, then we are all the same, then we are all different again.

Our truth is that we are all different. We are different races, religions, colors, the basics, the what we came here with, and that teaches us challenge and tolerance

And then we are the same. We all want love, caring, respect, nurturing. The sense we are part of a whole and the whole is working.

And then we are different again. We all have different talents and gifts, once we discover them. To live amongst each other and give and share with each other.

That is our truth and our truths lead us to growth.

Understanding we are part of a whole takes away the role of ego very quickly

Understanding we are part of a whole takes away the aloneness we feel that breeds insecurity

Understanding we are not alone gives us the energy to want to participate, to take chances and to not worry about failing,

We find out that failing is a thing of old thoughts, since we are trying to Hone ourselves and we will get it

Life isn't about failing and not failing,

Life is about attempts, decisions, to see what works and what doesn't

To take on that the respect you need and grow from, works for all of us

To take on that love is so important to our existence that without it we shrivel and hurt each other

To live in the whole that speaks to all of us, we are with each other, in this huge home

The doors and the windows are only the boundaries and limits

Yet we walk outside of our "room" and we are not outside, we are just inside our other home

We have closed off our thoughts to everything we don't pay for

However the Earth didn't come with a price tag

It came with us
