A Hole in the World...
what is it about family that can bring you so close?
while on the same hand,it can push you so far apart?
what is it about the human race that makes people so judgmental?
thinking you have the right to say if someone is right or wrong?
sane or insane?
what is it about humans that makes us think we are better and above the other?
aren't we all the same?
aren't we all just people?
who cares about skin color,religion,beliefs,sexual orientation,or financial status?
why can't we as a people look past that?
why can't we see past their religion?
past their clothing?
past the person they come home to at night?
why don't we look at what they do?
why don't we look at who they are?
what they contribute to society?
what kind of mind they have?
what dreams and goals they have?
do we all have to be so shallow and smug?
i'm begging to think that morrie schwartz hit on the nail.
