There is so much division in our country and the world these days.
It seems that we can’t even agree to disagree.
It seems that people want to listen to those who speak hate.
Who believe that we are losing something if we give hope to the hopeless.
That divisiveness and division is more important that embracing differences.
That if we could just all be the same, there would be no more problems in the world.
As long as we are the same AS THEM....
As a woman, how can I be the same as a man?
I am not a man.
I am fundamentally different.
As Michelle, how can I be like anyone else in the world?
I am unique.
The only Michelle that ever will be.
Why would I want to be like someone else?
Doesn’t that negate the beauty that only I can bring to the world?
What if we all became just like each other?
Can you see that world?
It would be dull, grey, uninteresting.
Nothing vibrant, exciting or different.
All the same.
