When did we forget that all people are created equal?
Regardless of social standing, race, beliefs, economic status, location... we were all born the same, we all have the same basic needs. I don't care who you are, what you do, where you live, how much is in your checking account. Every one of us is a human being, and deserves to be treated as such.
Why is it, then, that people treat each other so poorly? Your boss treats you disrespectfully... The receptionist at your doctor's office is rude and uncaring... Driving is dangerous because everyone thinks their own destination is more important than the safety of those around them... There are so many examples to be found in daily life of how people are wrong to each other.
This is my clarion call. I charge each of you to be better to your fellow humans. Each of us was daddy's girl or mama's little man at some point. Each of us was a wide-eyed child, who didn't know the cruelty of the world.
That cruelty doesn't have to be. If each of us treats each other as we would want to be treated, the world would be a better place. All it takes is a little respect, a little kindness.
