It seems that until we can look at each other as equals, we will not be able to have genuine peace. Really, it's only when we view "the other" as inferior to us, even in subtle ways, that a divide begins. When we see "other" rather than "we", it's ok that the other person doesn't have quite as much as we do, it's ok when benefits are cut (as long as it doesn't effects us); its ok that we bomb another country. This type of escalation happens so quickly we often do not realize the effects until it is full blown.
My encouragement is to view each other as equals from the beginning, celebrate our differences and the richness of our diversity. Extend kindness, extend help, extend compassion. We can do better. We must do better. We can Act As One.
