existence

What if we took care of each other?

Think
about
that.

Just for a moment. What it would mean. What it would look like. Would there be need still if we answered so quickly? Would we stop perpetuating a system that created need? Where does personal responsibility tie in? Or is that just a myth that inidividualistic free enterprise, democracy and, maybe, greed have produced? I really wonder. Does it make sense to only care for ourselves? What would taking care of other people look like? Maybe it means monetary and financial needs. But what about emotionally? Sharing experiences and the wisdom gained from those? Or maybe just being with others would help, them AND us?
We are all connected.
No human is separate or alone. Their existence is connection.
No one truly wants to be alone; they just don't want to be hurt anymore.
How can we love?
How can we take care of each other?
What if we took care of each other?
