"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect."

- Chief Seattle, Duwamish

What a strange existence it must be to live in the imaginations of other people. The inner struggle of being human is the pull between wanting to be authentic and the need to be accepted. We fear that if I allow myself to be authentic, then I will not be accepted, and therefore we sacrifice our authenticity to be accepted in the imaginations of others. How odd it is to live in a culture where inauthenticity is rewarded, as it creates a diseased construct of the mind.

Our purpose as humans is to evolve and this evolution of the mind can and will create a life of humanity for all beings in the midst of struggle. Emotion is an authentic spirit driven by love that wishes to manifest itself into action. The collective power of humanity can be very impactful when we are in the service of the people in the world who are less fortunate, for we are all interconnected in this woven thread of life.
