Part 18: The tribe of Humanity
The Seeker and the mysterious Stranger have reached half of the great volcano. Alongside them walks a group of animals. Their path leads towards a flat plateau. A structure of marble stairs, etched into the rock wall. White stone, like in ancient Greece. It looks like an ancient Hellenistic theater.
"Since how many millennia have humans been fighting against each other?" questions the Stranger from the very top of the steps.
"How many horrific wars did humanity brought onto itself? Tribe against tribe, nation against nation. Because we look different, because we speak different languages or have different cultures. How often did we fight, because of different values or religions? This constant fighting...
And all of that, because we are still thinking in terms of tribes. Just as we did thousands of years ago. We may have advanced technologically, but inwardly we are very much the same. We are separated in culture, religion, ethnicity. And out of this separation, polarization is born. All that, because we never stopped thinking in 'ME' vs 'YOU'.
Conflict between groups, conflict between individuals, inner conflicts within. As individuals we are in conflict with life. As an collective we are in conflict with nature.
So much conflict and it's always the same root: 'Separation'
Where there is separation, there is conflict.
That's like a universal rule.
