What’s interesting about this is the acceptance that not everything was created equally. There is indeed a difference between everything that exists. To deny that would be silly. To treat everyone equally is only half of the battle. The real truth is that everyone is flawed. Everyone is perfect. The only thing is that we don’t see the flaws of people and we ignore them and treat them as if they didn’t exist.

Is it safe to entrust a shorter person with shorter legs a task that would evolutionary be easier for a taller person to accomplish with more ease? When it’s a life or death matter, is it okay to be prejudice? If your survival is on the line, who would you entrust with certain tasks?
And that’s what I found so great about the article. It represents a philosophy which should be fundamental. Rather than disregarding our differences we should embrace them. We should cherish them. They are what makes us each unique.
