To Honor All (W/ Solace)

By Mr King


Division breeds divisiveness and separation...
Personal concern alone gives isolation.

The nations are all one...
But act as nations alone among other nations.

Community is a division between other communities...
But we are all one community.

Family is a division from other families...
But we are all one family.

And to truly honor ourselves...
We must honor the whole.

Loyal not to one among many...
But loyal to the whole itself.

Honoring the whole...
And honoring the parts.

But honoring NOT the parts at the expense of the whole...
For that is indeed dishonor!

  • A former member wrote: So many believe in a cause, but so few will take a stand. And those who do take a stand, stand alone because people are so afraid to speak and stand together.

  • A former member wrote: But mostly, so many people hate themselves inside so they project that hate onto anything they can. It gives them a release and takes away from the anger they have at themselves.

  • A former member wrote: It's rare to find those who are accepting and loving of all. Rare indeed.

  • A former member wrote: The boundaries and the borders on the maps were drawn by man; the states were drawn in different colours by man. when one is racist, by all logic he must hate the race in its entirety. Love and acceptance, Understanding and Enlightenment.

    This is much more indepth than it appears. It took a slow reading to recognize the ingenuity of it. Very insightful.
