Stronger as We
The positivity of being WE and disregarding “us” or “them” is tremendous.
We are all one.
When you get past these physical bodies we identify ourselves as, the communities and affiliations you and I place ourselves within, and any other identifications you can imagine — we are the same.
At our core, we are Universal source energy. It doesn’t matter if you are male, female, fat, thin, Christian, atheist, American, Korean, or whatever other labels you can think of. At our core, to our deepest level of existence — you and I are just energy and the same as one another.
There are numerous reasons for the stratifications we have in modern society. All these artifices that get employed to create not just individual identity, but group identity, get turned into something that’s ultimately disempowering.
This is ironic since most of these artifices are intent on empowerment. We get so caught up in this that you and I end up frequently divided into “us” and “them.”
When I wrote about this previously, I intended to discuss how both sides of “us” and “them” are hurtful to our existence. Ironically, in the process of writing this, I have come to realize that instead, I played right into “us” versus “them” — exactly opposite the intent of the article.
