All As One

Jun 17th, 2009 by Tamara in Religion 25

Life is a treasured present, god’s special gift to me. God has given me the power to be different from everyone else. Every person has the gift be different and with this opportunity the world has been made into a mosaic. Even though each person is diferent we all belong under one classification, mankind. Canada is worldly known as a multicultural country which helps immigrates keep their own individual culture. Unity and solidarity is the key to human and world survival.

Canada is the perfect example of a mosaic country. The Canadian’s cooperationthat  grew up in Canada see this land as multicultural and understand the duties that come with having such a reputation. The diversity with Canada can prove a difficult aspect to deal with, but the government has made proper accommodations for immigrates. In my eyes, the government has not only the tasks of making immigrates feeling welcome, but making Canadian proud of their homeland. People can not fully work towards a better earth without being happy with their community and personal lifestyles. Without being comfortable in personal lifestyle a person can not  competely be mentally  focused on saving and creating a better world and more globalized society. Moving into a larger community I have grown even move accepting to how multicultural nation I live in. I am now more aware of the amount of different nationalities that call Canada home and therefore, I know that I must become understanding to other cultures, values and beliefs. Having all different cultures affect my lifestyle I accept their cultures impact on my life and hopefully show their cultures better ways of life that imbracing my unique culture has.

In this world, each person is part of something bigger. I am one small piece of the puzzle of mankind and for the world to make a proper puzzle everyone must cooperate. People can not allow barriers to keep the world apart and divided into groups. The people of the world have all got to be Good Samaritans and be compassionate towards each person. I have come to the understanding that helping one another helps me grow and learn. Growing closer to one another is not very difficult in this society, now with simple understanding of others, everyone can start working together and cooperating more easily. The horrible discriminations and wars must cease to create harmony with God and between mankind.  Each person has an effect on each other possive or negative which intells each person to become the best he/she can be. In God’s eyes we are all equal therefore, we shall help anyone in trouble and not put ones personal life before anyone elses.

no_man_is_an_island I have often read this poem by John Donne, “No Man is an Island” (below) to remind myself at times that every person is on this planet for a reason. I know by God’s words I am to forgive, reconcile, and give gratuity. God made Adam and gave him Eve so that man would not be alone and therefore we are to love one another like sisters and brothers. Although, I may have a different language, culture, and be separated by countless miles from people, I was taught to love each person for they are my neighbor. I have been influenced by countless cultures, and religions through the media, which indicates that John Donne’s poem “No Man is an Island” is very realistic. John Donne lived from 1572 and 1631 and saw that mankind is interconnected, and he was able to see the world as a web before globalization. The world is even more connected then John Donne’s lifetime and therefore, his poem should be that much more valued.

‘No Man is an Island’

No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
-John Donne

Solidarity is a part of life that even a young child experiences. Young to old each person has a set role in this world no matter the age each person is needed to make the world work. We must all work together and put our differences behind us and focus on the bigger picture and the problems that mankind has caused to the world.  People must not only look after themselves, but the community they live in and then the world. A family is strong example of how the world should work all mankind are God’s children and shall follow his wishes, and earth is our mother and we should treat her with the greatest respect. Brothers and sisters each person in the world will have to come together to make this family a happy one.
