Timothy Wilken writes: Known to the wise—Abraham, Buddha, Confucius, and Jesus understood the underlying connectedness of all humanity. Their admonitions to us contain high awareness of our human INTERdependence. This is why they taught us not to kill, not to steal, not to molest, not to fraud, not to coerce. They understood that the conflict of Adversity was not for humankind. They understood that the indifference of Neutrality was not for humankind. They taught us to be our brother's keeper. (07/04/03) |
