Natural Allies

Who are your natural allies?

My natural allies are the people who share both my values and my struggle, who face the same system of oppression and make the same choices affirming a shared vision of the true and the good.

There are other kinds of allies. Accidental allies, opportunistic allies, and allies of times past, who no longer share my struggle, my values, or my vision.

But natural allies are the best allies – our fate and our humanity are what bind us, and our fortune prevails when we work together.

As with the one, so with the many. The game of nations follows the patterns of people.
