Happy Tuesday, which means we survived the day that is most dreaded by many people, Monday! Finding your place in the world can be difficult in a society that appears to be overwhelmingly challenging and people with different ways of thinking. Everyone wants to try to fit in and be accepted, but fitting into a society like ours is not necessarily good because of the amount of hate in the world. Why do many people think hate and discrimination is acceptable? It is 2024, and we should have learned to be more accepting and understanding, but we have all witnessed on the news politicians using hateful words and behaving in truly despicable ways. We all have a name we were given at birth, so childish and rude nicknames are immature and unacceptable. I believe everyone learned in elementary school that if you have nothing nice to say, do not say anything! Too many people have forgotten this simple and very crucial lesson!

Mistreating and talking down to others can cause them too much unnecessary stress and negative emotions. Why can everyone not treat others the same way they want to be treated? Do those who act in this mean way enjoy it when someone treats them with disrespect, or do they continue acting like an immature child and have a temper tantrum? I will never mistreat someone just because they treated me negatively because it will never make things better and continue a vicious and terrible cycle. If you are being mistreated by someone, you do have the power to end the cycle and make positive changes. We have all heard the saying, kill them with kindness, and even though it might not always change their way of thinking, you will be the better person in the situation. It cannot hurt to at least try and hope it will open another person’s eyes and force them to see we are all human beings who deserve respect!

Maybe I am naïve because I cannot understand we cannot all get along. No matter where you are from, your skin color, who you love, who you worship, or even your political following, we are all humans with a heart. It does not matter where someone is from, what kind of foods they enjoy, or anything else, we might have things in common if we took the time to get to know one another. There is beauty inside and out everywhere, but people get too caught up in differences. It might be just the way I think, but you can meet one of the most attractive people on the outside, but they are ugly on the inside. Internal beauty is more important than beauty on the outside because it shows who that person is. Makeup can cover up much outside ugliness, and nothing can cover up internal ugliness. The bottom line is that if we have not already learned to be understanding and compassionate, we must do so at all costs. Acceptance is crucial, and it is not too difficult to do!
