I am connected to the universe—so well connected that there is no discernable difference between me and you and anyone else. We are all of the same mind. We are all descended from the same set of original cells. We all breathe the same air, we all awaken each day beneath the same sun.
Wars happen over differences, when some of us believe in the illusion of things being not the same. Maybe we need to feel the urge to judge in order to feel who we are—to make ourselves feel special, as in "I am better than you" or "I am richer than you" or "smarter than you." But if we remember who we really are, that all of us breathe the same air as our ancestors breathed including Jesus and Krishna and Buddha and Mohammed—then what, exactly, is there to war about?
I am no better than you who and you are no better than me. And the reality is, there is no reason to compare us because we are all of the same flesh anyway beginning "way back when" and continuing way into the future.
Peace.
