1] Here we are, we are here together

2] We share a common experience, this life

3] We are born, we live, we die

4] What we have in common far outweighs what keeps us apart.

5] We share the wonder of birth.

6] We share the love for our children

7] We share the grief of death

The above are self evident and universal.

What keeps us apart

1] Nationalism, the attachment to the country of birth, blinds us to the universal truth that planet earth is the place of birth.

2] Religion, the attachment to a culture that is particular to that religion and all its trappings, blinds us to the universal truth that there can only be one creator, all gods are our creations.

I am a human being i have been an iraqui, an american, an israeli, a palestinian. Now is the time to tear down the borders and the walls that we have created and see our state as humanity, part of a beautiful creation.

I am a human being

I have been a muslim, a christian, a jew, a buddhist, a hindu and many other faiths have i held. Now is the time to let go and see the creator that our great teachers have told us of.
