Yeah, but really ? The ‘enemy’? A fellow human being? The enemy? On what basis? An accident of birth? Well, how silly, for the last time I looked we were all born on the same 3rd rock from the sun. A different God? Really? Last time I checked all Gods were just inventions of human beings afraid to die. Understandable, but inexcusable if you are going to use this figment of your imagination as a pretext to exterminate another human being. Here’s how I see it: we are far too primitive as a species. After 300,000 odd years of evolution we are still looking at another person and seeing them as so different we are willing to destroy them. I call that primitive. I call that not worthy of the thinking human being. I call that behaving as a child in the playground might behave (an insult to children in the playground). We are better than this. We have the potential to be so much better. We are betraying a primitive, unthinking way of being that is just not going to be conducive to our medium to long-term survival as a species. We seem to have a death wish. It doesn’t have to be like this. How? Quite simply, you expand your terms of self-definition. So, instead of a random, arbitrary accident of birth you are, first and foremost, a human. So, instead of believing in an unverified, unverifiable sky God you are, first and foremost, a human. You are bigger than you think. Boundaries and borders based on arbitrary accidents of birth are boring. They are also deadly. If we are to get out of here alive (and this is very much in the balance, given the power we have harnessed to mutually self-destruct), then each and every one of us has to do something that is not that difficult: be a human being. 🧐
