Does the rich man pray for his own salvation while his workers toil in hell? Does he push the myth that all can succeed in a pyramidal system, knowing that for everyone who is a victor there must be ten losers or more? Whom then is his God? Who would listen to the greedy and powerful and help them to abuse all the more and teach their ways that to eat and live is a luxury earned and not a free right given by their creator?
Salvation lives in the way we love. It is in the kindness we give freely, and in being mindful for the wellbeing of one another and Mother Earth. It is in hurting when another hurts, in empathy over judgement. It is in sharing resources, in joy and in the kind of laughter born of pure spirit. Salvation may be a road discovered by only a few, but it is one made for all, one we may only walk together as one world.
The future rests not on the authority of the empowered, but upon the forgiveness of the abused and enslaved. It is the capacity of their hearts to embrace those who wielded power and accept the free help they rightly offer to heal and move forwards that is the salvation of all.
