Changes!
We are entering our third decade of “blaming and claiming”! Neither of these positions will solve the problems of today. However, both positions shared a common thread….’yesterday was better than today.’ It is interesting how we continue this generational error….the fear of change. My oldest friend stated it best: “keep it coming teacher, it should be a hunger and a thirst for it, we crave and know it not, we seek keys not knowing what they will open, we knock on air looking for a door of wisdom. Oh wisdom where art thou? Always we are forgetting that man’s capacity is proportionate to his goal.”
Change is the foundation of our lives. It is important to live life, yet even more importantly “let live everybody.” Those issues that seem to divide us are not nearly as important as what we have in common.
Consider this sensitive topic for example: The three major religions all believe in the same God and share far more common scriptures than most individuals realize. Additionally, there are few if any individuals who are aware of the Orthodox Christian Church or the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. The question seem clear to me, we have more in common than those theological issues that divide us. If the aforementioned question is partially true: then it is this generation’s responsibility to bridge theological doctrine that divide us rather than proclaiming that our view is the only truth. Do expect I others to follow my lead? I am a dreamer and an individual that believes that discourses oftentimes create the climate for change.
