We Are One, A Concept The Ego Refuses To Accept

"We come in various hues and sizes. With a great variety of features, hair and styles. Intellectually, gifted or challenged. Some, with physical disabilities. Educated or not. Creative in the arts or elsewhere. Speaking in different tongues, of vastly different backgrounds. With traditions ranging anywhere from simple to exotic, with great differences of opinion or beliefs.

We differ in individual comprehension, perception and understanding of tradition, religious teachings and life experiences.

But we are more similar than we realize. We are each tested in social interactions.
We each feel emotional pain when we suffer a loss. We grieve, we cry, we get angry, we bleed, we breathe and we smile, irrespective of race, culture, faith or cast.

We strive for peace, harmony, love, acceptance, compassion, collaboration, unity, freedom." Farina

"“We're different; we're the same.” - Richard David Bach, author Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
