Live Together or Die Apart

“We must learn to live together as family, or perish together as fools.”

— Martin Luther King Jr.*

The question before us is not whether we are connected. We are.

The question is how we choose to be connected.

We are already bound together—by the shared air we breathe, by our economies and ecosystems, and by histories we did not choose and cannot rewrite.

And we will continue to be bound together.

So what story will we write?

One in which we come together to minimize suffering and promote human flourishing—or more of the same?

Scripture reminds us:

“If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.”

— 1 Corinthians 12:26 (NIV)

When one is lifted, all are lifted. There is no faithful vision of the future that ignores our neighbor’s pain, and no wise future built on selfishness and indifference.

So the choice before us is clear. We can learn to live together—sharing one another’s burdens in love—or we can die apart, undone by indifference and fear.

Peace be with you.
