Our common ground–Where is the love?

Respecting another person has nothing to with respecting their ideas.

I respect their right to have them.

But I will forever argue and work against words or actions that disparage others as “inferior” and promote others as “superior” beings.

Let us join hands in love to fight against such hatred.

I may love you, but I do not need to love or even accept your ideas.  I may love you, and yet vehemently oppose your ideas.

In these difficult and turbulent times, practicing yoga and meditation can help us find and hold our centers and speak our hearts’ convictions–to reach out and support one another always as equals, and to work against those who argue otherwise.

Our common humanity is our saving grace.

I am the same as you… only different.

You are the same as me… only different.

We are the same as each other… only different!

Peace!
