Lessons of Nature and Religion
One in perpetual balance when left alone, one the source of perpetual warfare, between nations, and the houses of religion. Are the lessons of pandemics, storms of devastation, and the healing and building aftermath, ever heeded?:
Could Mother Nature be whispering to mankind, to unite in a common effort, in order to respond better, when She continues to show man, his short stay, is only as a tolerated guest in Her house? What of religions, claiming only their prophets can be the one, to convey words of enlightenment, does this foster unity? Isn't the truth, the only religion, regardless of the origin of the words? Less lives could be lost in the middle east, and elsewhere if such a simple message could accepted as a path to compromise, and peace. Wouldn't it be refreshing, if there could be a vaccine that gave herd immunity against the viruses of fear and judgement of others not like ourselves. Then no longer in control, kindness, understanding, and healing, could replace them starting in the heart, moving to the mind, opening eyes, no longer blind, to others not of our kind. Eliminated from adults, after vaccination, no longer could they be introduced, and perpetuated into the defenseless minds of the youth. Giving them the best opportunity to develop their unique gifts, not restricted by boxes needed to be climbed out of, constructed with the best intentions of parents, and meaningful society, now it becomes their own choice, any path of their own free will
