We are one in Spirit but it seems that as human beings we are very separate. This is not so. We are not as separate as we might think. As human beings, we are very much interdependent. We are much more intimate with one another than we might realize.

Today our community includes virtually everyone on Earth; this is certainly evident in the arena of economics and commerce.

As I have my breakfast of fruit, cereal, and coffee, I consider the people from many countries who are part of my morning’s breakfast: the farmers in the United States who grew the grain, the workers on the coffee plantations in South America and the banana plantations in Central America, the dockworkers, the railroaders, the truckers, the distributors, the grocers, and many others are all part of my morning breakfast.

As I go to my closet to get dressed, I find shirts and trousers made in 24 different countries. My watch, my computer, and my automobile were all made in other countries.
