They say that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. How about we don't judge a book without reading it first? Forget what it looks like or what you may have heard about it and just read the damn thing. Critique it afterward. If you discover it's not your cup of tea, then regift it to someone else and let them enjoy it. Always remember one man's trash really is another man's treasure! What goes for books, goes for people and relationships also. A wise man (my nephew, aka Pauly Glasses) once said, "We all bleed red, we all live, love, and learn. The little differences do not matter!" The exception to that is when someone tries to force those little differences down your throat. Acceptance is ours to give, but true acceptance is not forced. It occurs naturally. It's given freely from the heart. Let's face it, we all have preferences, but don't base your preferences/opinions on some preconceived notions. Learn what really speaks to you and then go one step further. Learn why something speaks to you. Form your preferences and opinions based on YOUR life experiences and not based on what some hate-filled, narrow-minded bandwagon dictates.

UNDERNEATH WE ARE ALL THE SAME

Your nephew is a wise man...and a treasure.
ReplyDeleteMistress, I agree. Not too long ago while we were chatting online, he started bringing up stuff he remembered from his childhood...it was hilarious. I'll cherish that memory always.
DeleteHave you considered cloning your nephew? There is a place for his wisdom. World wide. And from your response to the previous comment he has a sense of humour too. Win/win.
ReplyDeleteToo much of a good thing isn't a good thing! :) Being colorblind and remaining without bias and prejudice is a difficult thing to accomplish in this world today when so much of what we experience is aimed at negativity on steroids.
