Why Can't We Just Get Along

I watched the news today regarding the attack in India and I couldn't help but say a prayer for those who suffered in the attack and wonder why we just can't all get along?

All that was created here was fear and more fear. The people perpetuating the attack are afraid they are not going to get what they want.

The people lost and injured in the attack were afraid for their life and that they would lose something important....as well they should be.

Now I know we all like to think that we are "nice" people and we want peace and for everybody to just get along....but I want you to think for a minute about all the little ways we separate ourselves from each other. The judgments that we are better or different or that others are just the start of separating ourselves.

What if instead we put that energy at looking at how alike we are as humans...on a very basic level. It is at least a start.
