Compassion is always more important than competition

Editor,

We, human beings, have the capability of maturing beyond the concept that life is all about competing with each other in the effort to establish who among us is best, to the concept that life is all about cooperating compassionately with each other, to determine what is best for us all, and then, cooperatively, and compassionately, manifesting that which is best for us all.

The truth, today, is that we individually and collectively are making the choice every moment of every day whether to continue to divide or to begin cooperating to find unity.

From my sphere of reality, that leaves one question unanswered: Will we allow ourselves to mature to the degree that we are able to live by and manifest the cooperation concept, or will we do ourselves in by continuing to compete in the absurd game of trying to establish who is best?
Future history books will record which path we chose.
