I heard a news commentator remark with discouragement that all this time after Martin Luther King, Jr. death, we were still dealing with the same problems. It occurred to me that two millennia after the death of Jesus we were dealing with the same problems.
Evolution gave us two tasks: reproduce and survive. Human culture gave us myriad strategies to reproduce and survive. Sadly, one of those strategies was fear. When we fear, we hate. When we hate, we believe we can survive through the death of others.
We are sadly still in this place. How can we come to live as if we believe that our only true means of survival is through love.
