'...why can't we all just get along...'

violence breeds violence. repression breeds retaliation and only the cleansing of our whole society can remove the sickness from our souls. when you teach to hate your brothers and sisters...when you teach that you are a lessor man and/or woman because of color, beliefs, and/or the policies that they wish to pursue...when you teach that those who differ from you, or threaten your freedom, your job, home or family - then you also learn to confront others not as fellow beings but as enemies. to be met not with cooperation but with conquest...to be subject gated and to be mastered. we learn at the last to look at our brothers and sisters as aliens. alien men and women with whom we share a city but not a community...bound to us in a common dwelling but not in a common effort. we learn to share only a common fear, only a common desire to retreat from each other. only a common impulse to meet disagreement with force.

our lives are short. the work to be done is to great to let this spirit flourish any longer in this world of ours. we cannot banish it with a program or resolution but we can perhaps, remember if only for a time, that those who live with us are our brothers and sisters. they too share the same short moment of life, that they seek as do we...nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and in happiness...winning the satisfaction and fulfillment that they can. surly this bond of common fate, and surly this bond of common goals can begin to teach us something. surly we can learn at the least...to look around at those of us - our fellow men and women - and surly we can begin to work a little harder to bind up the wounds among us and become in our hearts...brothers and sisters once again.
