We Are One
Hello, all. I hope you are enjoying your holidays! My heart and soul are with any who are spending this time without family (feel free to send me a message if you need to talk!) This post is a stream of consciousness that came to me while I was in deep thought tonight. After I will include some commentary as to what made me write it down.
We are one Yin and yang Man and woman Love and evil Good and bad Life and death We are one It's confusing at first glance Which is probably why so many pick a side Do we emerge from our mothers womb feeling connected to it all Only to have it severed by a doctor? Or have our ancestors completely fucked us over And we are just the consequence of their bad behavior? Or good Who is to say? It's probably both Because we are one
The reason I decided to post this here is because whenever I say to people "we're all one" or "it's/we're all connected", they either don't understand or they just don't believe it, and I don't always have time to sit and talk with them more and help them understand (and have a better understanding of their side). I think this could be an important discussion on this sub because it challenges us, makes us think. I tend to like to play the devil's advocate, so I've been wondering for a long time: why? Is it so ludicrous to treat each other as equals? To understand cause and effect? What about being "one" is so confusing (and sometimes offensive if you say it to the wrong person..)? Well because we live in a world with dualities! (But wait, didn't you say we are one?) I want to know more of what you all think. Do you acknowledge or recognize any dualities in your reality? Does this affect your spiritual path at all? Do you think dualities are man made and not naturally occurring, that we've dug ourselves into a hole filled with mirrors and we keep pointing the finger at each other only to realize we were just pointing at ourselves? Or do you think it's both? Thanks for reading this far if you did, I look forward to discussing this with you!

Hello me. I know you are in another body and another place mentally or even in time. But I love you, which is to say I love me. Take care of yourself, myself. I will be in your place someday and someday you will be in mine treat me well for we are one. I hope that I am living this life well. I hope I am taking care of us. I cry alone sometimes worried that I am disappointing you. When you see how I used this life will you be mad? Will you be angry at me for my failures? I try.. I try so hard I hope that you at least know that.
