We are all One

A couple of days ago, I saw a movie called "One" (Todos Somos Uno, in Spanish). It's actually a documentary made by some amateurs who knew nothing about making films, but went out to the world and made one anyway. A great one, actually. This film is about the meaning of life, Oneness, and the rich tapestry of diversity that permeates this planet, like a web. I really really recommend it. Each and every one of us should watch it. You can find it in Blockbuster.

But what I wanted to post here are the words of one of the persons who appears on this film: Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev. They asked him about Oneness, about Unity, and he answered something that moved me deeply, and I thought, well, if we all could see Life like this, that would be the end of violence.
Here are his words:

"We are all unique. Each one of us is different. And it's so wonderful that we're different. We may spring from the same Oneness but, as human beings, as
individuals, every one of us is unique. We are different. That's what is beautiful about us.

So, at least, let's enjoy the difference. If you learn to enjoy the difference, if you see that every human being is a unique human being... Only once in the whole eternity, only once this kind of human being happens. You cannot find exactly this kind of human being anywhere else in the existence, anytime in eternity. Only once. That is true with yourself, with your friend, with your enemy, with your loved ones and the ones you hate. All of them are absolutely unique.

Anything that you see as unique, you value it. Anything that you value, you have no problems with it. And Oneness will happen out of that.

If you being to enjoy the uniqueness of life, Oneness will happen out of that."

And just to finish, I also want to share with you the words of another person, a writer called Frank M. Robinson, who wrote one of my favorites novels: The dark beyond the stars. He said: "If we are alone in the universe, with what respect should we treat each other and the rest of the life forms that inhabit the fragile Earth?". I would only add: Even if we are not alone in the universe... Life is still precious and rare, don't you think?
