To Unite or to Separate?

Beliefs separate. Loving thoughts unite.”

-- Paul Ferrini

 

We often focus on individuality, causing ourselves to separate from each other.  When we focus on our similarities, we connect!

I think we all should unite more ;)
t b. Sep 8, 2007, 6:19pm EDT
Interesting.
nice quote Bundy!!!
Nothing Fancy Sep 8, 2007, 6:21pm EDT
So true - but we should never "conform". :-)
Danielle P. Sep 8, 2007, 6:33pm EDT
This is so true. Great quote.
arlene (no shame in my game) w. Sep 8, 2007, 6:35pm EDT
Individuality is as much a necessity as companionship and comradery.
JoAnn C. Sep 8, 2007, 6:39pm EDT
So true
Brenda (square peg in a round hole) H. Sep 8, 2007, 6:39pm EDT
Very nice quote Bundy.
Allison P. Sep 8, 2007, 6:42pm EDT
so nice...and so appropriate for Gather!
Erin P. Sep 8, 2007, 6:49pm EDT
I can think of just a few people on this planet that need to read this. Thanks!
Heidianna "Coriander" T. Sep 8, 2007, 6:54pm EDT
Great thought!
vickey w Sep 8, 2007, 7:02pm EDT
good theory
Birdee F. Sep 8, 2007, 7:03pm EDT
I like that! We are all so much alike it is crazy :o)
Donkey O-Tee Sep 8, 2007, 7:28pm EDT
If only everyone was more like me, the world would be perfect.
Bundy P Sep 8, 2007, 8:37pm EDT
Shannon, I agree with you
Bundy P Sep 8, 2007, 8:38pm EDT
Thanks, Terry
Bundy P Sep 8, 2007, 8:38pm EDT
Thank you, Randee
Bundy P Sep 8, 2007, 8:41pm EDT
Sabrinia, I think we are more alike than different already, not that we have to adapt to be alike. Make sense?
Bundy P Sep 8, 2007, 8:41pm EDT
Thanks, Danielle
Bundy P Sep 8, 2007, 8:43pm EDT
Arlene, I just think if we see how much we are alike, there wouldn't be so much dissension in the world.
Bundy P Sep 8, 2007, 8:43pm EDT
JoAnne, thanks
Bundy P Sep 8, 2007, 8:44pm EDT
Thank you, Brenda
Bundy P Sep 8, 2007, 8:44pm EDT
Me, too, Erin!
Bundy P Sep 8, 2007, 8:45pm EDT
Thanks, Allison
Bundy P Sep 8, 2007, 8:45pm EDT
Thank you, Cori
Bundy P Sep 8, 2007, 8:46pm EDT
It would be good in practice, too, Vickey
Bundy P Sep 8, 2007, 8:46pm EDT
It's true, Birdee!
Bundy P Sep 8, 2007, 8:48pm EDT
Interesting, Donkey...my perception of donkeys in general is that they are stubborn!
Timothy S. Sep 8, 2007, 9:40pm EDT
Reminds me of a few rock anthologies! It would be interesting to see more people unite.
Ron B. Sep 8, 2007, 9:46pm EDT
You are correct.
Jerry Owens Sep 8, 2007, 9:48pm EDT
To focus on simillarities and connect does not rob us of our individuality. Good quote Bundy!
Barb M Sep 9, 2007, 12:43am EDT
Wow - that was actually pretty deep for me. I need to focus better!!
Thanks for a great article - it made me think twice!!!
Bundy P Sep 9, 2007, 8:31am EDT
I agree with you, Timothy!
Bundy P Sep 9, 2007, 8:38am EDT
Thanks, Ron
Bundy P Sep 9, 2007, 8:40am EDT
You said it better than I could, Jerry!
Bundy P Sep 9, 2007, 8:40am EDT
You're welcome, Barb!
jane K. Sep 9, 2007, 9:54am EDT
truth!
Donald C. Sep 9, 2007, 12:54pm EDT
Individuality of one can be the same in another causing the two to connect. We do not need to loose ourselves to be with someone else or a group.

Wasn't the constitution of the US based on beliefs? Pursuit of happiness, the right to own property, all men created equal etc. Should they be upheld or replaced with "loving thoughts"?

I'm not sure casting aside beliefs is really the way to go. Who would decide what a loving thought is? Wouldn't a group of appropriate loving thoughts need to be codified and enforced?
Bundy P Sep 9, 2007, 5:48pm EDT
Thanks, Jane
Bundy P Sep 9, 2007, 5:49pm EDT
I agree, Donald
Bundy P Sep 9, 2007, 5:51pm EDT
Pursuit of happiness, the right to own property, and all men created equal sound like loving thoughts to me, Bret...
Denise B. Sep 9, 2007, 6:46pm EDT
a very good quote.
M & M. Sep 9, 2007, 10:40pm EDT
you are right, a great quote sugar.
Jerri H. Sep 10, 2007, 11:02pm EDT
nice quote :)
