I suspect if more people practiced mindfulness there would be less racism.
If more people were in touch with who they are, what they believe, what they care about, and how they want to be in the world. . .
If more people learned to sit still for thirty minutes or twenty minutes or ten minutes or five minutes or one minute focusing on their breath. . .
If more people realized they don't actually have strong opinions on all the things they think they have strong opinions about. . .
If more people intentionally cultivated an inner state of calmness and equanimity. . .
If more people responded instead of reacted. . .
If more people came from a place of stillness and caused less harm with their words and behaviors and interactions with other people. . .
If more people were self-actualized and inherently valued and practiced empathy and compassion. . .
If more people were more certain about what and where and to whom they belong and were more able to help foster and build communities of belonging for others. . .
If more people were not attached to desires and emotions and political identities and circumstances and their ego and the status quo. . .
If more people learned the difference between observation and judgment. . .
If more people were more mindful. . .
