We are not sheep or cattle. Fences and boundaries were not created for us but by us. We have created boundaries to separate us by religion, race, sex, country, age… if we can find a difference, we can find a barrier. Just as parents we find it upsetting when our children fight, so too should we find it disturbing when we as children of the earth fight. It is time for us to share love not hate. If the human race wishes to evolve, we must learn from our past mistakes.
