Every Diner – People are All the Same

Greetings Dear Reader,

I realize that on surface that sounds false but in many ways people are all the same.  They have common needs.  They have desires.  They move through the world trying get somewhere or find something. 

If we start with the basics we all need food, clothing, and shelter.  We all need love whether we admit it or not.  We need to feel a sense of belonging.  We need a tribe.  We desire to be part of something bigger than our solitary existence.

We are all born.  We feel pain and joy.  We experience gain and loss.  Whether you believe in creation, evolution, or alien seeding we all descend from the same beginning.  We are all crooked sticks.  Whether we give it the label or not we all sin.

My faith informs me that I cannot see myself as better than anyone else.  The most vile human being on the planet (YES that person whose name you just supplied) is only worse that me in my eyes.  The God I follow loves him or her as much as He loves me.  That same God requires me to love that person if I hope to follow honestly.

Everything about following Christ is centered on connecting.  I must connect with God and obey his command to love others.  I must realize that everyone I encounter has needs.  I must do what I can to be compassionate and giving surrounding those needs.  My following must include my attempts at unity.  I must realize that we are all the same. 

I must constantly keep in mind that everyone is headed down the path that I am.  We are all born, live, and will die.  I am responsible to live out my beliefs as we interact along the path.  Every encounter must be one where I leave others better than I found them.

And the continent is called Pangaea

And the main ideas are connected like a spear

No propaganda, They tried to upper hand us

Cause man I'm loving this peace

Man, man, I'm loving this peace

Man, man, I'm loving this peace

I don't need no leader

Concept that make me think I need to

Fear my brother and fear my sister

And shoot my neighbor or my big missile

If I had an enemy to {enemy}

If I had an enemy to {enemy}

If I had an enemy, then my enemy is gonna try to come and kill me

Cause I'm his enemy

To forget about the main cause

Connecting, uniting

But the evil is seen and alive in us

So our hopes are colliding

And our peace is sinking like Poseidon

But, we know that the one {one}

The evil one is threatened by the sum {sum}

So he'll come and try and separate the sum

But he dumb, he didn't know we had a way to overcome

Rejuvenated by the beating of the drum

Come together by the cycle of the hum

Freedom when all become one {one}

Forever

One tribe ya'll

One people, one people {One People}

One love, one blood, one people

One heart, one beat, we equal

Connected like the internet

United that's how we do

Let's break walls, so we see through

Let love and peace lead you

We could overcome the complication cause we need to

Help each other, make these changes

Brother, sister, rearrange this

The way I'm thinking that we can change this bad condition

Wait, use you mind and not your greed

Let's, let's cast amnesia

Lord help me out

Trying to figure out what it's all about {what it's all about}

Cause we're one in the same {one in the same}

Same joy, same pain

And I hope that you're there when I need ya

Cause maybe we need amnesia

And I don't wanna sound like a preacher

But we need to be one

One world, one love, one passion

One tribe, one understanding

Cause you and me can become one

Wishing you joy in the journey,
