The Myth of Independence & the Truth of Interdependence.

Can there be true peace, balance and independence in a country where depression and anxiety are rampant, food is fast and often not really food at all, neighbors are isolated and mass shootings are more and more commonplace all the time?What if we shift our paradigm?From being “the greatest country in the world” to being a great place among innumerable great places on this beautiful earth.From a human race to a global community of lifelong learners.Most of all, from independence to interdependence.“We can either emphasize those aspects of our traditions, religious or secular, that speak of hatred, exclusion, and suspicion or work with those that stress the interdependence and equality of all human beings. The choice is yours.” ~ Karen Armstrong“The task that remains is to cope with our interdependence—to see ourselves reflected in every other human being and to respect and honor our differences.” ~ Melba Pattillo BealsRead 6 more inspiring quotes on elephant journal.
