I have been thinking a lot about how people separate into groups. Whether it be by color, back in the days of segregation, or like the nazis separating people by beliefs as well as race.
This is a very human and animal thing to do. We organize by grouping with people who are similar to our selves whether that be physically or by beliefs. The one thing people do that animals do not, however, is learn to recognize people's strengths regardless of who they are.
We all have our strengths, just like we all have our weaknesses and it gives me hope that one day we will learn to accept everyone based on their strengths and help with their weaknesses on a level that leaves out color, or sexual preference or religion.
As you walk through your life and meet people, I challenge you to look for their strengths instead of focusing on why you dislike them or don't want to be around them. I struggle with this myself and I have to think about it every time I make the decision not to like someone. Am I doing it just because I don't want to deal with them, or is their a real reason I think they are not worth my time? Honestly. everyone should be worth not just my time, but yours.
