My high school yearbook had great editors, writers, and photographers. I
recently noticed the opening paragraphs to the section on our Senior
Class. Very wise. Still incredibly pertinent if not doubly so today in
the world.
It began by listing some labels that students tossed around about others at school.
"Labels which reveal our own acceptance of others, behavior, goals or habits. Labels may change from year to year; the act of stereotyping remains neither original, clever nor unique."
And then concluded on a hopeful note:
"We will need to search for the real worth in one another which will
finally give us the courage to say, 'I am your friend,' and that will be
their label."
Try to increase your acceptance of others. Of
their behavior. Their goals. Their habits. Acceptance. Maybe you'll make
a friend.
