9/11

What to say today?

So many people have died, and why? Hatred, the quest for power, fear... humanity as a whole suffers whenever any of us allow ourselves to see another human being as the enemy, even more so when an entire society is villified. I don't have the answers to how to resolve our differences, but surely history has shown repeatedly that killing each other is not any kind of solution.

"We are one, after all, you and I.
Together we suffer, together we exist, and forever will we recreate each other."
(Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, French paleontologist and theologian, 1881-1955)
