I Am He As You are He

The only way we can even begin to heal society's many ailments is to begin to truly understand how connected we really are. Whether you like it or not, we are all family. Did you know that you have at least a million relatives as close as 10th cousins? Or that no one on earth is any farther removed than 50th cousins? Within every breath, there are 10 sextillion atoms, that means that within the span of 1 year, you have shared oxygen molecules with every person alive today, as well as every person who has ever lived.
As the distance between us shrinks and the rise of technology pulls us closer to together, lets take this unprecedented moment in human history to not just be tolerant of each others differences but embrace their uniqueness, praise them, celebrate them. Thousands of years worth of ignorance and misunderstanding is now being turned back. The human race is unifying. The need for a deeper understanding of what it really means to be human and our role here on this planet has never been more urgent. Our existence depends on it. What a wonderful time to be alive.
