Myth & Meaning

Diana Hochman, December 2024

Fighting over different beliefs and viewpoints is absurd. Time and place informs our quest. Accepting that other people have different viewpoints, experiences and understanding about the nature of being is what diversity of thought is all about. We cannot impose our way of being onto others, nor can we demand others think and act as we do. The world has room for all of the varied customs and cultures. Certain human laws are universal. Every person has a human right to healthy food, water, shelter and clothing and education and safety. Perhaps some day people will come to see that the myths, or beliefs, or religions that hold meaning for them are personal and that these are not the same for all people. And this is okay. Live with an open mind and heart.
