If the entire world were to become a new intentional community, the "Gandhi Ashram", what would be the "Seven Vows" of this Community? Consider: Practice Beauty, Be Kind, Practice Harmlessness, Be Forgiveness, Reverence Earth, Feed Everyone, Love Everyone...
If these "Seven Vows" were our collective deepest truths and intentions, would anyone make a movie ridiculing the faith of Muslims? Would Muslims react by going on a murderous rampage? Would a Christian pastor fan the flames of hatred and bigotry? Would a presidential candidate use the occasion to lie and obfuscate instead of exercising restraint and wisdom? And would the tens of thousands of children dying daily from hunger and malnutrition continue as the lost and forgotten -- because no one can score political points by remembering them?
