Differences Between Us

"We are all made different to learn from each other."

Jayanta K Nanda

I find it to be ironic that we spend incredible amounts of time trying to copy others. We may dress like someone or live in a certain neighborhood to hopefully create acceptance.  Even when we are transported into the strived for element, how odd that we continue to downplay our uniqueness so that we will secure the status of fitting in. 

Discrimination based upon looks, ethnicity, or chosen paths strives for superiority and division. Embracing other cultures, professions or evolved concepts broaden our experience leading to acceptance and understanding. If we nurtured each other, stopped hiding parts of ourselves, and celebrated life together, would the world not change?

When we are able to see beyond the masks and become tenderhearted will we not experience a sense of freedom? We will never fully accept others until we learn to accept ourselves, faults and all. We are all human beings with remarkable differences intended for the pleasure of all. When we can view each other freely, spirits will finally soar.
