As I walked my daughter to the bus stop this morning, I couldn't help but notice the scene played like a mini-UN. Muslim children, Hindi, Sikh, Caucasian, Hispanic, Black. All playing together, laughing and running around because that's just what children do. They don't hate each other simply because one has a different skin color or prays another way to their version of what is really the same God. They learn from one another. Laughter is laughter, no matter the language in which it is delivered. They don't care about republican or democrat. They care that they get to run and play.
At what point in our lives do we learn to hate? Did our parents teach us? The media? The church? I think it's time we all start to realize that there are other points of view out there and while we may not agree with them, it would serve the world well if we all started behaving a little more like children.
Amen...There are so many things we can learn from children if we just stop and watch.
