Differences...

One of the hardest truths in life to grasp is that as much as we want and think we are right, sometimes we are wrong. Sometimes we think our way is the only way but sometimes there are many ways. Even if we believe something so strongly it must be a fact, ultimately it's still just opinion. No person has all the right answers.

We are a collection of the things that we've seen. We become the experiences we've had. We handle things the way we've seen things being handled before. We are actions of our parents, the lessons from our teachers, and the discipline from authority.

Everyone is different and from different backgrounds. We've all had different experiences and have seen things differently. No two people are completely alike and this is a blessing. Even you and your "soul mate" won't agree on absolutely everything and will have some different views from time to time. These differences are not a bad thing at all, rather a great thing.

The differences in people are the things that allow us to learn. We can use these differences to learn about ourselves and the other people. These differences are the things that defined us in the first place. Discovering technique that worked and styles that meshed came from watching ones that succeeded and failed. We are what we've seen.

We can also use these differences to realize how similar we all are as well. We all have problems and no one is always right. We all stumble from time to time and we all have help others who've done the same. We are all just people in the world, let's do the best job we can...
