Something Worth SharingWe’re All Just Human
Forget about status, age, colour, nationality, what we do or where we are - we are all just human. We may seek like-minded friends, hang out with fellow sports fans, spend time with the family we were raised with, or prefer people who drive similar cars. No matter what our preferences are, if you break it all down to the simplest factors, we are all just human. Have you noticed how much people - especially on social media - look for differences and opposing opinions, politics and views? Regardless of all the differences we may have, the ultimate ‘common’ piece is that we were all born, we all live and will all die. As Linda Ellis's poem "The Dash" reminds us, our lives are all made of two dates and a dash. What we choose to do with the dash - and who we choose to be during it - is what counts. Whether you get annoyed by others, have a difficult colleague, sister, client or friend, they - like us - are simply human. When we can remind ourselves of the fact that we are all just human; every human is full of faults, fear, passions, hopes and dreams, then perhaps we can drop our shoulders and behave in a caring and compassionate way. As the wonderfully beautiful book The Boy, The Mole, The Fox, and The Horse shows us through its incredible illustrations, we are all just trying our best.
