One and Only

In truth, there is only one language and one religion.  The barriers that exist between them are not substance but rather fractures in what is broken and dysfunctional.  I speak and understand a debased and diluted chunk of the one language and call it "English."  I practice a corrupted fragment of the one religion and call it "Christianity."  There are people who would understand me if it were not for the clutter and fissures that keep us apart.
I am not advocating that the world unite with one language and one religion.  I am not calling for an end of tribes and nations.  Humanity and its world are only meaningful because of a scattered few.  The words of these few bless no matter what "language" they are spoken in because they are uttered in friendship.  The deeds of these few are holy no matter their "religion" for they are done for the better of all.  In spirit, these loving few speak the one language and practice the one religion.  It is the wicked who are lost in gibberish and nonsense.
Do not forsake the world because of its wicked.  Bless the world, not for its own sake, but rather for the sake of those who keep it turning.  Take heed: you can only bless these friends of ours by being one of them.
