The violence, insensitivity, separation and conflict that is happening in the world is a consequence of fear and arrogance.
Unless I have the courage and honesty to recognize and meet the fear and arrogance of how I live my own life, I will be endlessly perpetuating the very thing that I want to see change in the world.
No amount of speaking, singing or writing about love and peace will ever change the world, in fact I can see that talking about love and peace can be a way of avoiding the very thing that can change the world; and that's to recognize how I live my own life in fear and arrogance; and to feel the depth of suffering and separation I create in my own life, and in the world.
In this recognition, in this suffering, compassion is born, and change happens without a thought or a word being spoken.
