A #sacredsunday thought to share:

A #sacredsunday  thought to share:
People who are religious often do things that we find upsetting. We often blame it on the religiosity of those people. People who aren't religious often do things that upset us too. Some people blame it on their lack of religion. 
We seem to overlook the simple fact that organisms are necessarily competitive. We all compete for space, food, money, power, attention, etc...

I originally intended to point out that this "scientific" fact should lead all people to the conclusion that "science" is obviously the cause of all our problems. I realized two things in regards to that idea. First, it's not all that funny. Second, it's not all that true. It's no more true than the "funny" posts about religion being the cause of all our problems.

So I propose that for SacredSunday and for #sciencesunday  we all take on moment to consider an alternate approach. Why not consider cooperation instead of competition. Seriously, one moment to consider reaching out to another person or group instead of pushing them away. And tomorrow maybe give it another moment, or even two ?
