I sometimes see shirts or totebags that say “Coexist”, often written using symbols of world religions and ecological symbols. Others say “Tolerate.”
That always seemed like such a low bar to me.
I preferred “Peace” as a message, using those same kinds of symbols, like this shirt:
Now, I have a different opinion, given how divisive the world has become, or at least the United States has become. At least, there have been times when the states were united…
I guess that our society does need to work on coexistence and tolerance.
Maybe if we can manage that, we will be able to progress to peace. And love. And caring.
May it be so.
Sooner rather than later.
