We believe

That our principles

Are the universal reality

 

We need a new awareness

That our beliefs are not all that there are in the world

That interpreting the world might be essential to our survival

 

Our world is a system

Within this system, we separate ourselves based on our beliefs

But we don’t see that the distinct separation is whats oppressing this system

But

We don’t have to let go of what we believe

But we do have to be curious about what someone else believes

 

Although there is this separation

The ultimate bases for ethics are clear:

To put selflessness over selfishness

We must have the ability to separate ethics and your own beliefs

So that we can increase, rather than decrease, the quality of people’s lives

We must help rather than harm

 

Our world is a system

Within this system, we separate ourselves based on our beliefs

But we don’t see that the distinct separation is whats oppressing this system

The separation is causing uncertainty in society

We see agent groups feeling that they have more power than target groups

And the ideals of target groups being diminished

 

Yet we know that these ideas of either group shouldn’t be determining what is ethically right or wrong

We know that ethics cannot be influenced by religion, law, sexual taboos, and or social conventions

But we still let these ideas interfere

 

Our system – our world

Is full of confusion

Confusion on how to separate our own beliefs from ethics

 

We must accept that difference

We must acknowledge this difference

We must acknowledge that the difference may be essential to our own survival

 

Our world is a system

Within this system, we separate ourselves based on our beliefs

But we don’t see that the distinct separation is whats oppressing this system
