Intricately woven practices are not innate, such as etiquette, how to hunt with rifle, mr. mrs. ms. and miss, language, hand shake, interview process and the correct color to wear, ladylike, masculine, leg crossing, folding hands in prayer, bowing head, floor kneeling, marriage and wedding habits: bachelor and ette parties, father giving away, father last dance, reception after in church, on beach, on cliff, in judge office. People are taught. Innevitably, we are the same. Can you imagine relaxing long enough to learn tons of methods of other people. (Majority of times, like their parents. How your father throws a curve ball or dance moves of your mother. Family recipes of cookies, ham, beans, corn, and turkey. Family tradition passed down. I sleep with the exact of pillows as my mother and hold my fishing pole like my father.) I learn from them, what they enjoy, what I am surrounded with, what I find satisfaction in.
So fine, I enjoy reading, writing, dancing. If an astronaut has the same blood type as me, I can save the astronauts life, with my blood.
Opinions were made to voice opposition to the practice of another.
I speak English. To communicate with others I must learn to speak Spanish. What is scary is how separate we believe we are from people miles away. *Refer to parts of every man. We are not.
I wish to change our current means. Something to bring PEOPLE together. (I think of a bookstore. One person began writing a book. Then many others followed.) Not to take away from accomplished goals, but to spread the possibility for others to achieve their goals too. Helping others brings me so much happiness.
