Who are we?

{12/02/2007} Cyclones, floods, and hurricanes continue. Warnings of global warming have become common news on TV and no one seems to care. The Internet carries thousands of new and old pictures of the human calamity, starving children, wastes, scenes of degradation and abundance, giant buildings, pompous houses, yachts, airplanes – contradictions that existed since ancient times. But now everything is out in the open, either seen in the lives of those who suffer or practice disharmony or in the messages that continuously flow from mailbox to mailbox. Who is meant to be warned? Will they reach their destiny? Who sends them and why? Who is trying to point to the speck of dust in the other’s eye? Will they see it in their own? How many will be co-opted and change their way of thinking, ending the madness in how to act upon the world that leads to waste of their own life and that of others? Where is the essence of our oblivion to Love? How did we become so detached from who we are? {Chronicle 138}
