“It takes an open mind to see past differences and accept others for who they truly are. For how can one hope to see another person when our eyes are blinded by fear, distrust, and/or a sense of superiority over another. How can one hope to learn from another when our heads are filled with what we “think we know” because of what we were “taught” (by our own society). Let us all learn to “unlearn” and empty our overflowing cups, meaning our prejudice. Only then can we approach another and play with each other as equals, as all God’s creation, under the same blue sky.” ~Jearim Dancel, FB, 29 July 2011
