Change starts with our children and what we are teaching them. This is an exciting time in history because major changes are taking place. The old world order paradigm of “us versus them” is falling away to a new world ideal of “co-existence”. We all share this planet and realize that we are a global people living in a fish bowl together. We are realizing that the “them” of the other people, the environment and animals have the same needs as we do and that their health and prosperity affects our survival. The belief in separateness and human superiority has created an unhealthy planet. How many of us want an end to global warming, to bestow a healthy planet for our children, to end poverty and violence? This is our collective wish and so our paradigm is shifting.
Children today are growing up with a much different view of the world. They hear the doom and gloom of their existence. Many are probably afraid for their future. They are taught how living things are co- dependant with each other and that the environment needs to be healthy for us to survive. What would the world look like if everyone believed that we are all connected? That we don’t need to “pillage and burn” to get our needs met.
Respect of the co- existence of animals, people and the environment will shift our consciousness. It is the concept that will change the world. Interdependence can be the new nationalism. This idea needs to be infused in every aspect of society for children to feel safe. It has to be reflected in our government, society and our homes. We need our children to know that we will take care, we will look after, and we will respect each other’s need to prosper. How long will we live in fear? What kind of world do we want to create? The choice is ours. Change can be now.
I am you -You are me.
