Be You, Let Them Be Them

I am so sad to see all the division in our world today. Sadly, there have always been division lines between race or religion (which I totally disagree with, but I will get to that later.) but division is no longer against groups, it is simply against people. Everyone is an individual, but it seems that the current attitude is that all people are their own island and superior to each other.

This is a very dangerous belief. We live in a world where we have to communicate with others. Even if you live far out in the country, you still have to have relationships with others. Humans were created as social beings. When we isolate ourselves into thinking that we are better than everyone else we are essentially deciding that no one is worthy of social interaction with us unless we are in control. This has caused a self-absorbed, arrogant world.

We as a society need to get back to a place where freedom reigns again. Everyone should be able to be free to be themselves and to be accepted, appreciated and loved. God did not create us all the same; He gave us all different abilities to keep everything interesting, not so we would go against each other. We should celebrate the differences in each other and see how they cause us to fit together perfectly like a puzzle instead of mocking each other and thinking of others as less than.

The truth of the matter is we are all sinners. Not one person is perfect; we all have our struggles. One person is really good at one thing and really bad at another; this is a condition that is common to all humans. So we can stop picking on each other!! It shouldn't matter about anyone's skin color, religion or length of their hair. Where a person is from doesn't matter or how much money they have in the bank. You can always find someone who is better off than you, but you can also always find someone who is worse off than you.

I won't get into the reasons of why I believe we have become so divided. At this point, I don't even think the "why" matters anymore. All that matters is that we wake up and stop. Stop judging. Stop mocking. Stop thinking we are better or less than. Instead, we need to start! Start loving. Start accepting. Start finding ways to bridge the gaps and get along. Realize that we are all alike. Let us become one group of people, rather than individuals refusing to stand together.
