"La facultad" write-alike by Maria

Those who are closed minded are likely to become judgumental. There is something I wonder and ponder everytime. Why since the beginning of times has there been a class group that has dominated over other groups. There were slaves in Egypt, there were slaves in the US, there were slaves in many places of the world. I don't understand why differences are seen as something unpleasant or ugly. When in reality is what makes everyone unique and special. How come being Black  in 1619 meant you were thrown in slavery because of religious stands and belives and to benifit profitable - by the blood and exploition of other humans. Racism, toxic culture has harmed so many people so many misconceptions and stereotypes have cost the death of many people. How can hate rule so much over love. I will never understand.

There is so much ignorance that has to be defeated with education and I'm not talking about academic education. Learning from other cultures and realizing that differences are not scary. Acknowledging that sometimes we assume things of others that we don't know if it's true or not it's the first step. Empathy,  Respect, Gratitude, are values that everyone should have. Because there are core values that should be applied with everyone. I`m not going to go into morals or ethics because everyone holds a wide variety of them. Maybe their family culture or circumstances shaped them or religions. But these 3 core values should be implied no matter what ethics , morals, beliefs each individual holds. Empathy is putting yourself in someone else's situation  having solidarity with their pain. Respect means not attacking an individual because they don't agree with the same idea as you - we definitely will not agree with everyone but respecting even if we don't agree is extremely important. Gratitude means being thankful for the great opportunities we have. I know that life can be so hard sometimes, I `ve been in positions where I thought ...Why me ? the empty feeling inside you feels like you are alone in this world. But in the midst of all the dark situations there is light in the end. So why spread so much hate when we can spread love. -To others and ourselves.
