The United States is a powerful country. We are Americans shore to shore despite of our problems. We have differences of opinion and thought processes, however there is always that unity that encourages the individual to speak out and be an individual. However united we may be within our country, we are isolated, and our awareness of other countries or cultures is not as respectful as it should be. Now we are finding that we are a global economy and every country s individual action financially affects the others in some way or another.
Every culture affects every other one.
I ask you to look to the global consciousness that is developing. Our way of doing things is not the only way and we should be respectful of all other cultures, celebrating the knowledge of others without demanding that it be OUR way. Every culture in the world has its own expression and understanding of life, not just in the financial dealings but in the deeper aspects of life. The future is a future of developing a global consciousness, of ideas, creativity and understanding. Even within our own country there are cultures that are asking for Unity.
