u·ni·ty. noun; the state of being united or joined as a whole. But is that what the world is really portraying? Are we really striving to help unite? Or are we just letting our judgmental instincts take over us? I, like most people, was taught to look and treat others in a respectful manner. To treat others the way I would want to be treated. But this obviously doesn't matter to some of us anymore; or we just may not think about how our actions or thoughts may impact others. Many people are being bullied, hated, stereotyped, singled, whatever you wanna call it. Why? Because our species doesn't seem to understand what they are doing. Is it really humane to hate someone for their beliefs? Orientation? Race? Background? Appearance? For something they cannot, or choose not to change? If we cannot change the way WE judge people, why do we expect people to change for US? "The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with himself." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson We will not get anywhere in life by hating people; by avoiding our own kind; by humiliating our own population. Even the term "own kind" has been taken away and separated man into different groups. I say it's time we look at each other with equality and bring back what life was before all this hatred. To look at others with love, care, trust, and most importantly, respect. "We are not a team because we work together. We are a team because we respect, trust, and care for each other." "The very first lesson that I learnt from the Qur'an was the message of unity and peace. ~ Cat Stevens "Our flag is not just one of many political points of view. Rather, the flag is a symbol of our national unity." ~ Adrian Cronauer "The essence of the beautiful is unity in variety." ~ Felix Mendelssohn .................................................................. ~Silver
