orphaned by apathy

In this world, our enemies are not across oceans nor borders, nor are they neighbors or family members. Our enemies are greed, a lust for power, money, and influence; our enemies are an obsession for glory and an unwillingness to admit wrongdoing or extend forgiveness. Our greatest enemy is apathy, born out of a decreasing awareness of others. But, authentic listening is an antidote. Listening to our souls and our neighbors enables us to hear the voice of the One whispering “Home” who offers extended arms of loving embrace to the orphan within us.
