The dichotomous ego perceives "us" and "them," "me" and "you."
This separateness is an illusion that leads to give and take.
Give and take leads to specialness which is the road to ruin.
Ordinarianess leads to peace and contentment.
When there is no "other" we are one and whole.
Being one and whole is the true nature of the ten thousand things.
Unitarian Universalists know this because they covenant together to affirm and promote the respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which they are a part.
In this affirmation and promotion great wisdom and peace arises.
