In a world we are living today, we humans are separated by a thin wall.

"DIFFERENCES"
As of today, the most common type of discrimination is racial discrimination.
What's wrong with being not a white person? Why should we feel hostile to people with dark
skin? Why should color be a reason to dictate the way we treat other people?
Why do we even continue the mindset; "white people supremacy"?
Another kind of discrimination: Gender Discrimination.
Why should men be considered as the first sex? And women as the second one? Even way back
before, when it comes to work and education it is known that men are more privileged to get education
and work outside home and women will remain indoors. It is always women who are deprived from the
things men can do. Why? Is it because of their small physique? Or is it just because it is what the culture
tells us?
How about age discrimination? Why do we keep looking down on aged people and dictate their
working capabilities? Is it because their old? Insufficient to do tasks? Is it because we all think that age is
the basis for strength and capacity?
What about on religion discrimination? Why do we condemn people with religion that is different
from ours? When we all have the freedom to choose on what to believe and what not to believe. But why?
Why do we still intrude other people's belief? Why do we think that our religion is far more superior that
others? When in reality, the argument on which religion is true is subjective. The human reason is
incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify the belief that God exists or the belief that
God does not exist.
What happened to humanity? All throughout our lives, we've been educated to treat others kindly,
treat them as you wanted to be treated. And yet, the thin line still remains unbroken. We should realize
the mental and emotional effects of discrimination because often, this results to anxiety and depression
that leads to self-hatred and people being suicidal.
We may be different in color, ethnicity, age, gender, religious beliefs. But underneath it all, we
are born with equal dignity. We all live in the same planet. We breathe the same air. Our blood is the
same color. So why? Why should we discriminate each other?
Stop the hate. Show respect.
Spread love and kindness.
