It's not religion, that's just a facade and excuse for man to regress to his animal self, marking territory, imposing beliefs, claiming ownnership, dominating, it's all the uglier side of humanity.
Attitudes that sicken the heart are epidemic around the world.
The underprivileged everywhere must grovel and scrimp to merely stay alive, while the few in power protect and increase great hoards of cash, lie on sheets of silk, and each morning twist bathroom fixtures made of gold. And as emaciated children of ribs and skin die in the arms of weeping mothers, their country's "leaders" engage in political corruptions which keep donated food stuffs from reaching the starving masses.
No one seems to have the power to alter these conditions, yet the truth is, power is not the problem. No one seems to have the 'will'.
And thus it will always be, so long as no one sees another's plight as his own.
We simply don't care. It's lack of caring. The entire planet faces a crisis of consciousness. We must decide whether we simply care for each other.
We do love members of our own family. We simply have a very limited view of who our family members are.
We do not consider ourselves as part of the human family, and so the problems of the human family are not are own. Changes:
In order to eliminate more of the pain, more of the suffering...
By eliminating all separations between us.
We must begin to see someone else's interests as our own.
