When did people stop being people?
When did we start labeling everyone and deciding their worth and
whether we like them or not based on their label?
Gay, straight,
Democrat, Republican, Christian, Atheist, blond, redhead, brunette,
skinny, chunky, tall, short, pretty, average, rich, poor, and
everything in between.
I have friends who fit in all the above and I
still love them all. Who ever said that we have to like everything
about someone or that they have to be just like us, in order for us
to be friends?
That would be so
BORING!
I had a friend once that
was thinking about only being friends with people of the same
political party as her. Since I don't associate myself with any
political party, that would mean that our friendship would have been
off. Thankfully, she decided not to do that.
I hear so many times
someone saying that if you don't like something about them, then they
don't want to be friends. If that actually were the case, then,
really, no one would have any friends because there is ALWAYS
something you don't like, big or small. Do you always approve of
your friends choice in partners-doubtful. What about their choice in
food or clothes or entertainment?
I disagree very strongly on a
number of topics with friends of mine but I don't let that define our
relationship. I look at them for who they are as a whole, not just
one or two or even three things.
Everyone is a person of worth.
They are not more or less of a person of worth based on their
political party. That would mean the love is based, not on who they
are, but on yourself, whether or not they are like you.
You want to
change the world for the better?
Stop focusing on issues so much and
focus on loving others regardless of their label.
