One Small Step Towards World Peace One small, simple and manageable step towards World Peace that we could ALL take is to accept and respect others differences; i.e. others culture, others beliefs. As beneath all this that some might call conditioning, we are all the SAME. We are One Family, all members of the One Race; The Human Race. We are one Tribe, inhabiting the same terrain, Mother Earth, the SAME Planet. We could choose instead of focusing on the differences between us to embrace and celebrate them. What are we actually afraid of when we react to those differences, or when we judge others? It seems to me that judgment, non-acceptance and criticism of others has to be coming from a place of fear. Surely it is arrogant to assume, believe that only OUR ways are right, Our ways are acceptable. There is NO Right nor wrong Really, despite the fact that we largely live in a dualistic world, there are only similarities and differences. We could choose to look beyond ALL differences, all conditioning and focus on the similarities; we are ALL the same, beneath all the apparent differences. I believe that the Dalai Lama is correct in his statement; The destruction of your neighbour is actually the destruction of yourself therefore it also seems to me that the judgment, rejection and criticism of others, albeit the thin end of the wedge, in reality is the judgment, rejection and criticism of ourselves.
