Character, Not Characteristic

Location

 Black, White, Asian, Indian,

Christian, Muslim, Jew, Athiest

Gay, Straight, Bi, Lesbian

Does all of this really matter?

Can we not just be proud to be human?

Of the same origins and facing the same problems?

With similar goals and aspirations?

A category cannot define a person,

because every person in each category is different.

Do not love or hate them for their category,

but rather their actions and interactions.

Respect and love should be based on character,

not characteristics.
