Stop The Division, We Are All Part Of The Same Race

Our biggest focus should be changing our way of thinking to understand each other instead of criticizing one another.

Have you seen the royal wedding? If you haven't, I'm pretty sure you heard about it.

The problem that has been rising on the internet is the fact that people are comparing how people bashed childish Gambino for dating outside of his "race" but they were bashing the bride and prince for their marriage. For the internet, to be bashing people because of who they fell in love with makes me always remember that there is so much in the world that divides us.

I feel like nowadays, everyone focuses on the differences between each other but never look at the similarities. I feel like as humans, we always look for things that make a person different from us and most times when this happens it is usually something that they are doing wrong. For example, people often compare weight between one another. A person may belittle another simply because they are "overweight."

In my opinion, I feel like us focusing on "race" is the biggest problem because, technically speaking, the way that we identify race is not correct. What I mean by this is what we consider to be a race is not correct. For example, we consider a being black as a race when in actuality, there is only one race, which is the human race. a person is black, white or anything else was created to make others feel inferior and to create division.

When people start to realize that most words that were created were done so with the purpose to cause separation, then people will start to understand why we are not all so different after all. In turn, this will allow us as humans to have compassion for one another.

Therefore, I feel like, as one race, our biggest focus should be changing our way of thinking to understand each other instead of criticizing one another.

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.
