This One Future

President Barack Obama ended his speech at Cairo University in Cairo, Egypt today with this for us to think of:

"We have the power to make the world we seek, but only if we have the courage to make a new beginning, keeping in mind what has been written. The Holy Quran tells us, Mankind, we have created you male and a female. And we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another.

The Talmud tells us, The whole of the Torah is for the purpose of promoting peace.

The Holy Bible tells us, Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

The people of the world can live together in peace. We know that is God's vision. Now that must be our work here on Earth."


This man speaks of a future for all mankind. If what has been written is true and will happen, then this future may be impossible. But it is the one future I sought after. The one future I won't let you disagree with.
