Somedays you can almost feel its wind. Somedays it just seems so far away. An eternity. Something I will never have the privilege of witnessing with these eyes. People are just so different, and its not their fault. Its not our fault. So it's hard to imagine a world of unity, the one that God promises us in the Bible. I'm not saying it won't happen because I am sure that will. Just not anytime soon.
With all our languages and cultures, and customs, and enviroments, it is amazing to run into someone just like you. The problem is that sometimes I enjoy that discourse, those barriers; needing to learn a language, subcultures rebelling against the dominant society. But within that, we find racism, sexism, every kind of discrimination. Its a living paradox. As much as we try to rid ourselves of animosity, the progress is slow. We do our part, and we do what we can to spread our influence. We've come a long way. From religious persecution, the genocide, to salvery and civil rights. All of which still exist. I'm glad to be able to watch the world change. But It's still so far away.
