Being the part of your mind that does not believe it is responsible for itself, and being without allegiance to God, the ego is incapable of trust. Projecting its insane belief that you have been treacherous to your Creator, it believes that your brothers, who are as incapable of this as you are, are out to take God from you. Whenever a brother attacks another, that is what he believes. Projection always sees your wishes in others. If you choose to separate yourself from God, that is what you will think others are doing to you. T-7.VII.9: 1-5

People live lives of quiet desperation often believing they are competing with others for scarce resources rather than joining with them for mutual benefit. People see in others competitive intentions to take what is theirs and therefore they see most people as a threat of some sort. When people see other people as threats they have forgotten their Transcendent Source from which all life has come and the idea that we all are in this thing called “life” together.
In Unitarian Universalism we join together to affirm and promote the awareness of the interdependent web of all existence.
Today it is suggested that time be taken to see what is held in common rather than what separates and divides us.
