Ask yourself, 'Why did God create but one man?' the Reb said, wagging a finger. Why, if he meant for there to be faiths bickering with each other, didn't he create that from the start? He created trees, right? Not one tree, countless trees. Why not the same with man? Because we are all from that one man-and all from that one God. That's the message.
The Reb poses a thought-provoking question about the singular creation of man by God, emphasizing the absence of conflict that multiple creations could have fostered. Instead of allowing for countless humans from the beginning, God chose to create one man, leading to the notion that all of humanity shares a common origin. The implication is clear: our differences in faith and beliefs should encourage unity rather than division.
This perspective reinforces the idea that, regardless of faith, we are all interconnected through our shared lineage and divine source. Albom's message in "Have a Little Faith" encourages readers to reflect on their relationships with others, highlighting the importance of harmony among diverse beliefs derived from a single foundation. By recognizing this connection, we can foster a greater sense of community and understanding.
