Description
I was pondering over the name for this drawing for what seemed like forever and ended up with "A Greater Understanding". I truly feel like if humanity is to survive and maybe even thrive, we need to unite in good understanding and rise above our own petty destructive ideals and self-centered personalities. I believe that a greater good is called for in this world and this can only happen through individual awakenings to the common good. Science has revealed that we are all stardust and we are all one in the most elemental levels, no matter what we individually choose to believe or do otherwise. By now we also know that everything on this planet circulates and that all life is intimately connected. We need to start thinking in terms of the good of the all and not just the privileged few. We need to act locally and think globally. And most of all, we need to become aware of our own personal and industrial greed and change our ways. It is time to step into the shoes of our brothers and sisters all over the world. The manmade world truly could be great if humanity would stop being so very divided over issues that really are not that important in the very big picture. I hold hope for humanity. Life is complex, but what really matters is very simple. Looking after the good of the all is looking after the good of you. Treating all life with respect just makes total sense.
