One Nation | One Tribe

Who are we? A valid question that strikes a chord in us all. As individuals.. as people- who are we? What do we see ourselves as, in association with what we have been taught in this big world? What is "we"? It is “Us” as the human species. What separates us? Fear, and association. What is this association we see ourselves attached to? Well, for example, I associate with being American. So what does that make you, reading this? Different and separate from myself, or, do you too, associate as an American?

I am not American. I am not forced into believing this is what I am. I do understand and know that  there are different  cultures throughout this planet- different cultures with different beauty and different ways of doing things- different only to me because I do things differently from them, as well.

But the reality is, we are still the same. We are human. Culture is a gift, and a very small degree of separation between us all, in the end. The separation that is most prominent, and prevalent, is this association- this belief that I am American is false. I recognize that falsehood.

The question now becomes what makes American? The answer: Government. Government: A system of individuals working together to make, and enforce laws. Laws which suppress us, enforce order, or help us, perhaps. Essentially, a system of individuals, if that is what they are, enforcing their will upon other individuals.  A government which creates a symbolism that we are made to learn to associate with. American. Canada. Great Britain. Italy. Germany…….

196 governing bodies called countries. Countries with population, with community, with culture, with tribes. 7 billion people. 7,000,000,000  individuals vs 196 ideas? A world community with no separation. I am not American. I am human. I am a world citizen.

I will not be ruled by an association or system or someone else’s idea.

I will rule with my community, and be a part in my community- the world community.

I am one nation. I am one with our nation. I am one with you. One nation. One tribe.
