Here's a question or two for you:
Why is someone who considers every human being truly equal considered "fringe" or "radical"?
Why is something we are taught in preschool and/or kindergarten - that everyone is the same and that we should treat everyone nicely and with kindness - thrown out the window at a certain point?
About me
- Tabba
- A wife, a mother, a friend. A lover of music, beautiful things, simple things, weighty things, a thinker, a wanderer, a student, and a fiesty fireball. A woman who is all of those things and more. A woman who is trying to matter, and who is trying to leave little more than her footprints behind and a legacy of hope, goodness, and sass behind her in her wake and in the hearts of her two kids. This is just the beginning. Are you ready for the rest of the ride?
9 ripples in the pond:
I've missed you Tabba. Why do we stop believing that we are all the same? All connected? I don't know but it is sad that we do.
I think, it changed for me when I was attacked. It became so very clear to me that some people are not equal.
Oh Tabba - I don't know.
It boggles the mind, doesn't it?
I think it's when we lose the idea of connectedness and interdependence and equality that things go awry.
Probably due to self-confidence: perhaps we all just need to be okay with ourselves before we can be okay with others.
Good and bad, we are all part of the same race. I wish we lived in a world without borders, and we could tell our kids that they could trust anyone. Sadly, that isn't the case.
As for me, I still try, every day, not to judge. I think I'll be trying until the day I die.
I've missed you! :)
Oh, I'm always so happy to stop by and see you here!
I don't know when it happens...but it does, and it's sad.
I don't understand why, but I do agree that one has to be happy with themselves &/or their own life to share the light of another. Often times it's easier to "throw the light out the window" and close the curtain than it is to open the curtain and let the light in. It's sometimes warmer under the covers for a person with a dark mood or ora.
