We must do better. We can do better.
​We can
act as one.

Why do you think it's so difficult to live this?

​It seems that until we can look at each other as equals, we will not be able to have genuine peace. Really, it's only when we view "the other" as inferior to us, even in subtle ways, that a divide begins.  When we see "other" rather than "we", it's ok that the other person doesn't have quite as much as we do, it's ok when benefits are cut (as long as it doesn't effects us); its ok that we bomb another country.  This type of escalation happens so quickly we often do not realize the effects until it is full blown.

My encouragement is to view each other as equals from the beginning, celebrate our differences and the richness of our diversity.  Extend kindness, extend help, extend compassion.  We can do better.  We must do better.  We can Act As One.

It has been my experience that a closed mind of others’ traditions, beliefs, and life situations has led me to believe the inferiority of others. This behavior was learned from my growing up in a community of limited diversity. Having an inquisitive thirst to learn about people, culture, religion and social upbringing has helped me. Tolerance of others differences is key! Our diversity is what makes this world a better place

Hello Kathleen,

Thank you for visiting my site and for your comments.

I so agree that "diversity is what makes this world a better place". Can you imagine if there was just one type of flower? Or maybe just one type of fruit? We see diversity in all of nature - same is true of humans!

Keep coming back to the site and commenting!
