That's right #MissKitty. That's who the #gangsters learned it from. #Money is #war. Money guarantees #poverty. Guarantees #homelessness. Money #divides. It doesn't #unite. Money is #death amongst #humans. It's beyond obvious. Anyone believing we can't do it without money hasn't even tried to think.
In another #universe, his #mother treats him better, or her mother treats her better etc, and he unifies the fractured #religious #foundation and helps coalesce the #cultural #divides because of his #transnational #trans-religion embracing of all. Different universe.

I know there's been a #CivilWar on #BlueSky (probably sparked by bots) but we need to focus on what #unites us rather than what #divides us.

Yellow wildflower with raindrops, primrose
There is, of course, the question of trust.
Warmongers, profiteers and #populists have turned any discomfort, question, fear into deep #divides between us.
We don’t have to accept their fairy tales. We can come together and #build #trust.

One of us chuckled. ‘If winning the heart of another is all we ultimately want, we can easily do so without destroying each other’s nations and the planet just to hoard riches which might impress someone.’ ‘And maybe we can evolve into beings who are less impressed by shiny things. I for one take the sweet strawberries over a metal any day.’ Two of us exchanged a smile, another one of us chuckled, and one of us rolled their eyes, saying: ‘Let’s return to the original gold argument. We can easily demonstrate that there is enough gold on our planet to pave every road with it. All we have to do is come together, extract together, and then design our settlements the way we envision them.’ ‘You’re right. There’s no need to fight over something like gold. There is no need to be the richest or the strongest. In fact, we can provide much better for all of us, love or no love, if we cooperate. I wonder, is it our lack of imagination or simply insecurity or even impatience which made us choose the path of dominance?’ Some of us shrugged and one of us said: ‘The lack of thinking. If our ancestors had thought it through, they would have discovered the benefits of coming together instead of dominating, exploiting and fighting.’

We smiled, some of us scribbling notes, and one of us said: ‘But why did we start seeking dominance in the first place? What was the lure?’ ‘The promise of more gold?’ One of us chuckled. ‘You’re saying we were blinded by some shiny metal and had to get more of it? And we figured that the best way to get more gold would be to put ourselves in a position of dominance?’ ‘Sounds about right.’ ‘Maybe it was love that started it all.’ ‘What?’ several of us exclaimed. ‘Think about it: You love your partner and you want to show your love, so you bring them the sweetest strawberries, the fattest fish, the most beautiful flowers. And since you want to give them the best of the best, you begin to accumulate riches for your love. Think about the people who built whole palaces for their partners. And since we tend to be blind when we are in love, we might have lost sight of everything and everyone around us — until we had become greedy exploiters who no longer knew why they had started hoarding riches in the first place.’ Several of us smiled and one of us said: ‘If love got us into our mess, love can get us out of it, too: the love for human ingenuity, the love for human’s humour and their ability to dance, the love for the adrenaline rush we experience when we create or cheer together.’ ‘And we can carve new ways to show our love.’

Extract, The end of all wars, planet one, the roots of war Narratives debunked We chuckled, and one of us shook their head: ‘The more I think about dominance the less sense it makes. We can achieve so much more if we put our heads together. We can enjoy so much more if we let everyone make their unique contributions. And I bet that if we nurture each other, we will be nurtured by each other. And if we nurture the planet, it will nurture us.’ One of us sighed. ‘Here on our island it is so obvious how generous, abundant and diverse nature is. Nature is alive, always in motion, always digesting itself, always following its cycles and constantly adjusting and remodelling itself to maintain or restore balance. We need to translate this for us, for our societies, for our economies.’ ‘Let me connect some of our dots. We spoke of the divides between people as a potential root cause of war — not just the divides between genders but also between people of different ages, abilities, origins and more, and not least between those who assume a role of dominance and those who suffer the dominant. These divides are partly created by the narratives of the strong and the weak, the predator and the prey, the superior and the subordinate, narratives which are deeply ingrained in our minds. These narratives tell us that dominance is a natural imperative which every creature of worth seeks. But taking a closer look at nature offers another perspective and one that is more promising because it shows that, for example, the lion doesn’t kill for dominance but for sustenance and as part of its role in the ecosystem, and with that the lion contributes to the overall balance in nature — not to some gamble for power.’

You mean that legacy media that is barely covering the protests against Musk and Trump? That equated the zillion things Trump has done or said with a single thing Hilary, Biden, or Harris said? #rapist #bully #hates #divides #supremacists #lies #unethical #lawbreaker #vengeful He will go to hell
