What is it about human nature
which so often thrives on pain?

It's high time that we each take a good look.
Look to our neighbors, our friends, even our enemies,
and really take stock in what we see.

Notice that all we do
does have an effect on others.

We're none of us perfect.
But we all share this place.
We all share this time.

So we should try
to work in harmony.

Always attempt to
bring out the best in those around us,
instead of knocking them down.

We are all different,
and yet so very the same.

Life could be easy,
if we just looked past the bad in people
and saw them for the beauty within.

And while there may be times
when the beauty appears invisible.

I ask that you keep searching.
Keep an open heart.

Because I promise that you will find it.
And when you do,
all will be right.

The ugly will be long gone.
Naught but a distant memory.

Hold on to the beauty
and do all you can do
for the stunning people who surround you.

This world is too unique for hate.
It was meant to be shared.
