People abhor what they cannot comprehend

By: Gabriel Santiago, 5 months

"When people abhor what they cannot comprehend,they are like those burning with fever,to whom the choicest food is unpalatable"Gibran     

This is particularly true for the Withering Trees whose dreams can only materialize into gold  and silver,they cannot comprehend spiritual and ethical values They above all cannot comprehend we are all in this trip together trying to give it meaning for ouselves which is the only value possible for we are all manifestations of  humanity. This is why gold and silver cannot continue to be the road if we are to arrive at true freedom for all. When  we realize there is nothing particularly special in our innerness that we do not share with others . That we do share certain basic needs in order to grow and have as a primary responsibility to move to fulfill them for all  then we are on the road to personal fullfillment, for there is not a single action we carry out that does not impact others.  This is why cooperation is a grater value than consumerism and personal withdrawal.  Trying to see men like Barack Obama standing up peacefully amidst all that is hurled at them is seeing our possibilities in our personal search for peace. It is not cowardice or cynicism or weakness but the greatest source of strength for anyone.  No matter what comes afterwards we only have today,yes we have a need for certainty but if we are honest with ourselves we build up that certainty through a big leap of faith on what could very well be a myth product of our need for certainty. one thing though is real this life is a space of time given to our liberty to serve.

Our likeness are more than our differences lets make this trip this space in our liberty the best it can be.  Herein lies true peace and freedom
