Poem -

Open Eyes. Open Ears. Open Hearts.

Dear Jew,

If you curse the martyr Jesus,
you deny an essential aspect of your Messiah

Dear Christian,

If you reject the greeting "AsSalaam 3laikum",
you deny the Peace your Master purchased for you at a great price!

Dear Muslim,

If you reject the greeting "Namaskaram",
you deny the Presence that is "closer than your jugular"

Dear Buddhist,

If you deny the Soul,
what is left?

The fish of the sea

Interesting poem, but shouldn't we be open to others views and opinions? No judgement from me though, just a simple Fish in a simple sea.

Lol .. .. .. the poem exists precisely because of non-open minds

If we deny free agency, we deny the ultimate plan. Nice write, it starts a conversation!

It seems in this very year 2020, namaskar/namaskaram, a customary, non-contact form of Hindu greeting, is a popular way for people to say hello to each other.
