Life of Significance Part 8

I think that men and women, young and old, different national and ethnic groups, and rich and poor see things differently because of their circumstances. Some of those differences include women generally being more relational and emotional, younger people being less concerned about the future, different national and ethnic groups harboring prejudices that they may not even be aware of, and the rich being out of touch with the needs of others. It has always been my contention that different is not bad – different is just different; however, it is oftentimes our differences that create a divide between us more than an appreciation for others. Consequently, we can end up with women being angry that men aren’t more communicative, older people feeling as though the youth are reckless, national and ethnic groups acting superior or feeling marginalized, and the rich feeling entitled while the not-so-rich live beyond their means.

Question: What are some of the ways you see people being different? How do (or could) those differences manifest themselves?

Live in the overflow!
