It’s upsetting more and more each day to see people in society being so divided about everything. The art of tolerance and respect for differences in everyone is almost gone in too many people.

I believe that we all come from the same source and are equal in every way. I strongly feel that we need to remember that; diversity among people is very powerful if first we recognize and respect each other enough to be willing to work together.

It’s not easy, but it’s the only way to accomplish anything.

I hope that we as Americans will seriously think about it.

Are we really “the United States of America” in name only?
