Dear Editor, I'm happy you are in better spirits. We have a lot in common I think. I know also that we hope and realize that all people can find ways to communicate peacefully. We all have to stop judging and criticizing one another for believing in different things, and instead, embrace those extraordinary differences. Everyone's life, despite their title or beliefs or religion is of equal value. And I also think much of what you end up believing relies on the place you are born. Simple as that may seem. I know that if my brown Pakistani mother moved to America before I were born, gave birth to me there, and left me there, I would have entirely different beliefs, but would still have the same heart. I am pretty sure that what is most important is that all people are able to find someone in this world, whoever they may be, to love, and to be loved. That is most important. And all people feel the same happiness when they find that, and the same pain if that love is found and lost. Yes, life is love. And anyone who doesn't want to be loved is fooling themselves. That need is just one commonality of many that goes beyond geography, race, language or religion. And it is powerful. And it is a great means of understanding one another. All that is real and true about a person can't always be seen on their face. Be sure to stay in touch, |
