We are ALL in this together!

Why is this song at the top of the music charts?                                              
 
I think I understand it…In fact, is he singing about me…?

Everyone I know loves the song. People who are in marriages, single people, people newly dating.

What that says to me is: We have all either personally felt, held compassion for another who has felt it, or are intellectually aware of the empty, incomparable, brutal feeling of loss of love, of rejection. 

Have you noticed that people from all walks of life are listening to this song?
Do you think this song knows political party lines?
Do you believe this song cares what religion you believe in?
Do you feel this song only touches middle class white people?
Do you think gays don’t quite feel the pain in this song as much as straight people?
Do you think only educated people hear the message? 
Do you feel if you buy enough stuff the pain will go away? 
  
Do you really think we are that different?
 
I don’t.  

This is a social example of how we are all in this together and one more proof to me that if a Creator exists, then there is only one - unless the others are copy cats.  

Just once today, look at and engage with another human (especially one you might otherwise judge) through the lens of belief that at their very core, they are just like you. That perhaps they have the same deep hope for love and the same fears that limit their access to it.
