This is the final part of a series about what I pray for every morning. It focuses on the state of our world and the potential of human evolution. I pray for the removal of the veils of ignorance, greed, rankism, and isolation.
Why do I pray for the removal of isolation?
If we were to remove the idea that each of us is somehow isolated from everyone else, we would come to see the that we are all connected. We are a collective. What we do to others we do to ourselves. What goes around comes around.
And if we were to understand that, how would our species change? Less rudeness. More charity and kindness. No wars. No taking advantage of others, whether through deceptive advertising, unhealthy or unhelpful products, unfair wages, or treating others as "lesser than."
We would learn to act for the welfare of our children, grandchildren, and generations beyond. The kind of world we leave for them would be a paramount concern.
Perhaps I'm an idealist. But look around. Our world is teetering on a knife edge. We have to change, or we will cease to exist. Will you join me in this prayer?
