The Only Race That Matters

As a human race, we belong under the genus classification

The Only Race That Matters
Wikiwand

You have been floating through the Andromeda galaxy for several years, and you finally end up on a random planet. You take a moment to take in the strangeness around you. The air feels thin. "This place seems unfamiliar" You think to yourself. A few moments go by and you can't believe what you are looking at. It looks alive from the distance. This life form has a head, a body and what looks like a tail. It stands up right. You take a closer look to discover a multitude of these creature-like things. m. you that you only saw the first of many. There is a multitude of these creatures as you hold your gaze in amazement, plotting your next move.They look on to you as well. They aren't sure what to make of you yet. You look nothing like them. "It's an Alien" They whisper among themselves in a language you have not heard ever before.

A situation like this is probably the only reason there should ever be any type of differences among ourselves here on earth. The world should consider alike we all are. Biology class introduced me to taxonomy; which according to Wikipedia is the branch of science concerned with the classification of organisms. Organisms are classified into seven divisions which are Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species. As a human race, we belong under the genus classification. So whether black, or blue, or white, or brown, there is only one race. The human Race.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
