Everyone as an equal

Posted on by philipdodson

Shouting louder doesn’t make us right.

Having more money doesn’t make us more important.

What we wear isn’t of any relevance.

The expanse of our house isn’t a sign of significance.

The colour of our skin doesn’t make us superior or inferior.

Our gender doesn’t make us stronger or weaker.

Bigger or smaller is of no matter it’s just a measure of size.

There are 8 billion people and each of us are worthy and enough, neither superior nor inferior.

We are all just equal human souls no matter what and if we start with that then there is never a need to judge anyone. We can accept everyone as an equal.

Embracing different

Posted on by philipdodson

The closer we get to the opposite, to the different, to strangers, then the more we understand.

If we only experience our ‘bubble’ of life, then we lack the ability to truly understand and empathise with another.

Much of the violence both physical and mental is created from a lack of understanding as we stay within our echo-chambers and become fuelled with hate for anything different.

If we embrace differences we grow more together and become less disconnected and less fearful.
