Embracing different

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.

The world does not need my opinion

The world does not need my view about everything all the time, in fact, I don’t need my view about everything all the time either. It’s just constant mental noise.

It’s OK not to have a view at all.

It’s a lot more peaceful for others and for me if I am content with just being and observing.

When we observe we listen and hear the other person and the beautiful world around us.
