The last 30 years has seen the systematic dehumanization of people everywhere.
Children are toys.
Schools no longer teach Humanities.
Employees are work units.
People are statistics.
And we have seen a steady rise in mental health problems.
The time has come to reclaim our humanity.
Children should not be left in child care centers from the age of a few months. They need the love and intimacy of their parents.
Education should not be just job training. A balanced education includes the Humanities.
Employees are sons and daughters. They are not the enemy.
People are human and we need to be treated as such.
And this is the purpose of religion.
To treat everyone as an equal human being.
To open our hearts.
To show mercy, compassion, consideration, and love.
Then we can say we are truly human.
