Random Thoughts on the State of Being

A person is so much more than the appearance of their body.

THAT is what is important.

Black/white/red/yellow, or puke bucket GREEN the color of a person's skin does not truly matter. That is not to say: deny thy ethnicity… it means that it does not define who you are as an individual. Your actions, your words, your attitude, all these things help to truly define you. How you treat the person standing right next to you, the person who lives with you, and the person who lives on a completely different content, THESE are the things that define you.

If your hair is long, short, straight, or curly, these things do not define you. If it's brown, black, blonde, or yeah even (gag) kool-aid red, that does not define you.

If you're fat, skinny, tall, short, these things do not define you.

If you have a big nose, a small nose, or a flat, or thin nose, these things do not define you.

If your eyes are blue, brown, green, or pink, these things do not define you.

All of the above may make you readily identifiable in a crowd as 'that person' rather than another, but, they have absolutely nothing to do with who you are inside, how you act, react, or respond to others, or situations around you: THAT defines you.

Caring deeply about people, and the world around us.

THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT DEFINE HUMAN BEINGS.

These are the things that make us truly brethren, regardless of race, creed, or sex.

These are the only things that matter.

Hurtful comments are just disrespectful no matter WHO you are talking about, public figure or not, or person next door. It's shameful. It truly is… and it defines YOU.
