"All wars are civil wars, because all persons are
brothers and sisters. . . . Each one owes infinitely
more to the human race than to the particular
country in which one was born."
Francois Fenelon
The
disease of addiction kept me separate, isolated, and alone. I was so
busy seeing how I was different from other people that I missed the
similarities. I missed the oneness of creation by always placing myself
above it, below it, or outside it; and I was the loser.
Even my religion kept me separate. By being Christian, I was not a
Jew, Muslim, or Hindu. As such, I failed to see the similarities of these
major philosophies. I also failed to recognize what all religious
people have in common: the inclusiveness of Love,Truth, and Forgiveness.
God is found in the difference and sameness of all people.
Dear God, I am discovering that differences, when understood, become similarities.
