We Are One by Rogue Ranger

We are separate individuals. But we are also con.nected together on a deeper spiritual level. Those two realities may seem like they can't exist together, but they do. We are like a forest of trees on the surface sharing a root system. Help others and you strengthen the bonds that tie us together and thereby strengthen yourself. We have been deceived to think we are alone so we compete against others instead of work together to make the world better. United we stand. Divided we fall.

Things I couldn't fit in the description:

We are conceived by the union of two people. We grow with a bond to one. We are born with a sense of self that encompasses others.

But even while still infants we are placed in a room alone to cry until we learn a sense of isolation. As children, we learn "mine" from our parents and society's materialism. Through school we learn to compete with others. Once we "begin our life" we work just to survive and continue to compete. We are told to choose one of two parties to vote for and that anything else would be "throwing your vote away" because we will never agree. We work until we're old to keep a system that lets those at the top have everything. Then, when we are useless to those in power, we are allowed to retire.

Society has brainwashed us into this so those at the top can profit from our ignorance and hostility toward each other through consumerism and war. They don't want us to wake up, but wake up we must.

The highest power is Love.

And this is another example of how time improves art because I really feel all my effort into the textures of the trees, roots and dirt really paid off. So everyone can improve!

We are all united, even as individuals, what would we do without each other, were strong and powerful and can over come racisum, vioIence, bullying, Everything. We may be different but were all the same. And we are all one. Nice advice RR. :)

This reminds me of Pando, I haven't seen it but I just wrote a really long comment about it that was really cool, took about half an hour to research and type abd then it got erased and I'm too lasy to write it again so I encorage you to go look up 'Pando aspen grove' and read about it for about half an hour and enjoy the great facts about like that it is estimated to be the largest singe organisim on Earth, about ten thousand years since the last seccessful flowering, possibly up to one million years old, each tree is actually a stem from a root etc. etc. It is kindof like RR's drawing and to imagine how old this Grove is shows just how strong RR's message is. Go. Stop reading this, there's an internet browser built in, just press the home button on your 3DS.

Beautiful way of conveying this message! I remember "Together we stand, divided we fall" from a song from one of my favorite bands. It is amazing how music/ other common interests link people together!

Such words of wisdom! There is actually a song called ''United we stand, Divided we falll'' by Two Steps From Hell. And another artist, ''Feint'', that has a song called the same name. Both songs are awesome! You should give them both a listen!
