Fundamental Goodness

"You are such a good doctor, Krishna, unfortunately i cannot in right mind have my children in your care, because you are not a Christian," the man states, a little louder than is probably necessary.

This isn't the first time Dr. Krishna is refused; no loss, as he certainly is already busy enough. Smiling, he nods and wishes the young man a good day. Watching him walking down the street, the good doctor wonders why that man, and others like him whatever their faith, feel the need to divide, create walls and lines and laws that separate people from each other. If it were to reduce the spread of a viral or bacterial agent for the public health, well, that might be a different story. But faith? He doesn't waste too much time ruminating, however, knowing that there are others who 'see God in all things'.

One universe, created, made, what have you, but one, he thinks to himself. Thus God is truly in all things, and so also in each and every human. Basic goodness, a fundamental upon which to build, Love's signature at a molecular level, this we share. All religions and philosophies of peace, well-being, love, compassion, what have you, share this basic truth, only for some reason (he grins, noting 'mind' as the culprit: ego, fear, doubt, anger) it seems inevitable that man must always add his own divisions, as if loving all beings as yourself, as God, as you neighbour is uncomfortable, impractical, undesirable ... ah, he sighs, then smiling grandly, he bows and with a sweep of his extended arm, he welcomes his next patient into the little clinic as a servant would his master.

"Welcome, brother."
