others also are our selves
looking at photographs or video images of Earth taken from the International Space Station, the question that wells up within me is: "On such a beautiful planet, why do people fight each other?"
As not only human beings, but all living beings come into existence in a state of disconnectedness, when I reflect upon the stupidity of pur brothers and sisters as fellow human-beings hurting each other and taking each other's lives, I feel a deep sense of shame that we as their siblings are unable to stop them from doing so.
