A time to Look at Ourselves as Siblings

“I'm a compromiser and a maneuverer. I try to get something. That's the way our system works.” Lyndon B. Johnson
To come to an agreement with someone i.e., to compromise and come to an understanding about a certain situation we may be involved in either through negotiations financially or otherwise. To transact in business deals or personal matters we face on a daily basis.
Here in America dreams have brought us as citizens from rags to riches, also from failure to success in so many different fields of our expertise. Compromised are our dreams to meet with one or more parties involved in a dispute.
To know what you want and to go after it with a bit of zeal has been the way we as Americans have always achieved our dealings with one another. Making an honest attempt to reach our goals through hard work day by day is the American way.
Therefore, where do we as American citizens go from here? i.e., it seems as though every task we attempt to master is already in progress and controlled by someone or some other business corporation. The free enterprise system (capitalism) is no longer the way to acquire wealth, fame or prestige.
We as the human race here in America and throughout the world have reached our ultimate quest for class orientation.
It is time we unite and come into agreement with one another as citizens of the world. A time to look at ourselves as siblings all yearning to breath free a new type of freedom the freedom of being ourselves.
No matter what religion you belong to the Lord is granting us this new freedom for through him, we are all free to give and share our love amongst ourselves. For if, we have love than all things fall into place. We are here on earth only temporarily for our home in heaven awaits us.
In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. John 14:2

hi david,
In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. John 14:2....always my favorite.
i loved this article, and am all for the idea.
i believe the same as you, if we all gave in and joined together, instead of gave up, we might get somewhere positive,
my best,

I love your article's central point. We must start viewing ourselves as siblings. We do want to struggle, but then again we should be assured of the intent of John 14. Good job.Please log in to respond to this comment.Thank you for commenting ChristoferPlease log in to respond to this comment.
Hi David,A close friend and myself were having a conversation about religion, globalization, and how we as the human race can better relate to one another. It seems through-out history we have spent more time separating ourselves than coming together. I believe that will be changing very soon, even if we are forced into it.Thanks for the food for thought.Please log in to respond to this comment.Thank you for commenting James, yes it does seem as though we have been separating ourselves through history. But I believe we will come together in the future. However I don't believe we will be forced to get along with one another but we will unite naturally.Please log in to respond to this comment.
Your words are so inspiring, David, thanks. You always show a better way of doing things, and you do it in such a way that it seems palatable, exciting, and utterly achievable.Please log in to respond to this comment.Thank you JenniferPlease log in to respond to this comment.
