"Whenever I meet anyone, I think of them as just another human being. Many of us face a lot of problems, the majority of which are our own creation. They arise because we focus too much on the secondary differences between us, rather than on what unites us as members of one human family. If we take all humanity into account there should be no quarrels between us." -Dalai Lama
Realize....
"Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human." -Viktor E. Frankl
We are all unique and different in our own ways...
"A human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable." -Eileen Caddy
"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so." -Douglas Adams
"Our lives are unique stones in the mosaic of human existence--priceless and irreplaceable." -Henri Nouwan
However we are all remarkably similar as well....
"It is human nature to think wisely, and act foolishly." -Anatole France
"Sometimes you're only human, and you learn." -Curtis Joseph
"I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color." -Malcolm X
"As human beings, we are physically, mentally, and emotionally the same. We all want a happy life and don't look for trouble, and yet many of the problems we face are of our own creation. Rely on feelings of affection." -Dalai Lama
"Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge." -Plato
Unification is a goal we must seek as one human race...
"We need to have a sense of oneness of humanity. We have to look at things on a human level and remember that, just as want to live a happy life, others do too." -Dalai Lama
"I love the sight of zooming out from the earth, before our very eyes countries disappear and borders fade. Humans become one among millions of living beings; I see one Earth, one Home, and one Love." -din
And never lose hope in this humanity and oneness amongst us...
"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." -Mahatma Gandhi
...for the differences are small between us. The tactics and ideas we separate ourselves from each other wish are nothing compared to what we can do together. Keep your faith in humanity, keep your faith in people, and keep your faith in this world. Keep faith in yourself, and see yourself as exactly what you are: human. Not perfect, human.
