Essay: Prelude To Women Walking Part 2 of 2

Unfortunately as a species, we’ve advanced in our technology to the point that we can pack doomsday into a suitcase and send it across the world, but we haven’t advanced in our simple ability to get along, play nicely and share. I once read that you could accurately gauge the direction and future of a society by observing what they are willing to do to and for the least among their members...one look around the world today should have all of us properly horrified! Albert Einstein once said “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones”. I think every single soul on this planet should think about that statement and ask ourselves if this is what we truly want to create in the future, because it doesn’t have to be this way. Uni means One and Verse means Song...literally translated, we are all One Song. What will it take for us to recognize this and begin to work together to produce harmony rather than the cacophony of discordant notes that we are currently collectively expressing. I hope my contribution can in some way add value and make a positive difference in our world.
