I often find myself wondering why there is so much suffering in a world full of people with such a capacity for love. \u00a0Even in the most violent, desperate environments you’ll find small acts of kindness.<\/p>\n
We often find ourselves being told to “hate” another person or group for their differences in beliefs, but how different are we all really? \u00a0We all need food, shelter, and love to survive. \u00a0If only we could learn to love the differences in others, the world would be a much happier, positive place. \u00a0Why can’t we all just learn to let go of the past and look forward to a future where we all live, and work, for each other? \u00a0We are one family, one large, complex, family. \u00a0When we can all realize that, the world will be the place we deserve it to be.<\/p>\n
