Rhyme and Reason:
Ask yourself this question:
Would the state of Israel, the United Nations, UNESCO, NATO, democracy in Germany, the formation of the European Union, an era of relative global peace and prosperity have come into being if it were not for WW2?
Now ask yourself, where else in life and history does this principle of cause and effect apply?
Is there a hidden agenda that we may be privy to, if we free ourselves from ridged thinking, preconceptions and judgementalism?
Could it be that atrocities, in their many guises, are orchestrated by an invisible hand, perversely required to deliver healing, love, connection and deep bonds between families, friends, individuals, communities, nations?
How else can humanity develop and advance with insight, understanding, forgiveness and collective compassion?
Shared adversity presents an opportunity to bring people together through shared purpose … united we stand.
Do we all perform a role, allocated or chosen for or by us before birth, in order to facilitate the greater good?
I see truth as a crystal clear multi-faceted cut stone. As the gem catches the light and catches the eye, one can convince oneself that the beguiling lens flare is the one true light, and become fixated on the purity and brilliance that particular aspect. Those that observe the stone from a different angle will be equally convinced that it is they who see the light. To me, it is the jewel itself, with it kaleidoscope of perspectives, that is the whole truth.
