I Guess We're all Human

With all the things that seperate people (races, creeds, interests, situations, financial status, etc), it is easy to find ourselves judging each other. People we work with or see in a store or where ever. It’s human nature, I guess, or maybe it’s an aquired trait we adopted as a defense mechanism. A way to help us feel better about ourselves. Whatever the case, it’s stupid.

One thing I have learned is, when we do this, we not only discount other human beings but we rob ourselves of knowing some really awesome people. Sure, we’re not gonna hang out with most of them, but there is common ground that links us all. I mean, we are all human. We have all felt joy and sadness and anger so we can relate on some level. Even if we feel very differently about the same subject, we still feel something. There is an opportunity to learn a different perspective which can only help shed light on all the superficial things we thought defined that person and, more importantly, what defines us. Maybe instead of dislike or hate, we can agree to disagree and just get along.

Just sayin’.
