All because of U[2]

I went to see U23D yesterday...as a music, cinema, and U2 fan, i have to recommend it highly. And i was thinking on the lyrics from one of their songs...
U2 Lyrics

"U2 One lyrics"



Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...

One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it

Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...

Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One...life

One

I always thought this song was about a difficult relationship, specifically a romantic one...and maybe, but perhaps there's more to it too. The line "sisters, brothers" makes me think so. I think this song can be about how hard it is for us to get along with our fellow humans. How wretchedly we can treat each other. But we're one. We have one life, and we all share life. Here's hoping we can learn how to carry each other. Love one another. Count the other's life as just as important, if not more so, than our own.
That's something i've been trying to learn lately. To live in community, and love as though others are just as important as me. Trying to lay down pride... and live outside of my own little paradigm. To put aside all of my desire to simply be left alone in the quiet (which is still nice sometimes...) and welcome others, hoping they will be willing to do the same.
