Diversity...

Diversity...


How people are so different, yet the same. Diversity.

How regardless of race, gender, class or background, how we were raised or our employment-that we are more the same, than we are different.

To love and to be loved is what I believe is the one common denominator throughout all the world in it's various countries and states. It's Universal. It's the one thing that regardless of how shitty life gets-and it does for ALL of us at times, love is what helps you wade through the mud to the clear waters. Cause at the end of the day, you still at least have that.

Regardless of your looks, weight, education, sexual orientation or any of those differences, this is where we are the same.

We're the same in other ways as well. We all have had experiences of despair, of heartache, of elation, of being victimized, discriminated against, but also having privileges of some sort. Be it getting a good job because of looks or being a man or winning a court battle and getting custody because someone is a woman. We share all these things and more, despite the Diversity between us.

Then I got to thinking about why some people fall to the wayside and why some get through seemingly unscathed in life. While I'm sure much of it has to do with how one is raised, the support system at home and whatnot- what makes people be survivors vs. victims, is how they react to the trials and tribulations we ALL face. Some people, seem to think that what they are going through-nobody else has or does. How wrong they are. The big difference in the outcome is how we as people deal with it.

Think of the last time you had your heart broken. What did you do, how did you get through it? For me, I got angry, I cried a couple of days, then gave myself permission to heal and move through it and past it. But for others, they seem to not be able to do that-and go down a very deep spiral to nowhere. They see themselves as a victim. If you view yourself as a victim you will be seen as one. Same thing with survivor. If you take what happens to you in life-learn from it- then toss all the other emotional garbage that you no longer need, you become a survivor. Sometimes the saying " Mind over matter" actually holds true. At least it has for me.

Differences. Diversity. Inside where it matters-we are the same.

Wise words....But how do you get more people to actually believe this?? So many people still don't see past the cover of the book...Or are too afraid to love.

Well Joeyjojo...it is really simple. First you have to love yourself. Then you have to extend your heart, which many are cold and hurt, and open it up slowly. Almost like a flower. A flower does not just appear. It comes in a package, you plant it, water it, it requires sun and fertilizer before it comes out as a flower. Much like that of love. So one day you dont just say i am going to love that person. It is a growing process. But many dont want to wait for love or am too wounded. For whatever reason their heart just wont open up. But do you love you parents, a pet, a hobby?? Well apply those same qualities to a person and i bet you would be surpised.

Thanks for your insight duderonomy!!!! I so agree with you. We all crave and need love. The mask analogy is a good one. I am one who wants to see the glass half full. And i am satisfied with what i have. I have a house, a car, a job, kids that love me as well as many friends who care for me. What more could i have?? A bigger house, more money?? But in the long run we all need the basics. Thanks for stopping in.

Hi sf native. Good point about us being human beings but all come to life with different qualities.

I am so very content knowing there are people out there who relish in the positive attributes of life versus the negative ones.

When one lives in the negativity all the time, they are the ones who are always in the down and out, depressed, and just plain not happy in life.

I agree...material possessions should never determinde ones happiness. I have met some very wealthy people who are not happy in life. Good points my friend!!!

I personally believe we make our own destiny. I am a very positive person, and I make it a personal rule of mine to always be in a good mood. I think that helps alot in making my way in the world. Others, especially in a busness professional setting, would much rather see a positive person, in particular when things are stressful. I think that lends an air of confidence, as long as it is not done in a stupid way. Not sure if I explained that right, but I tried...lol

Thanks taglog for your insight into my blog. I agree...we make our own destiny. Being negative will bring you negative events and people in your life. But being positive is a whole new ballgame. We can be happy and content even when life is not fair. This is what makes the world a sweeter place to live.

I think, how well you deal with life can vary, depending on how secure or insecure you might be at a given time. There have been times that I was devastated by heartbreak. And other times, when I got through it easily. It just depends on how strong I am at the time.

I so agree with you WinkieDoodle. Sometimes we are strong in our lives and often times we are so weak. Good point. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

How true canbeall. You said it in a nutshell. We all need to change but it has to come from the inside and work itself to our actions, our patience, our kindness in real life. Otherwise there are a lot of empty souls walking around.

diversity is part of our DNA . . it's what allows the species to adapt and overcome hardship and disease . . . some adaptation or mutation will survive. and even when we consider the emotional aspect. diversity allows us to explore new ways of dealing with relationships and challenges. one of the very important answers to your comments is the need to be able to reach out and communicate and connect socially, and to find others who share similar challenges, but also some successes. we collaborate once we connect. the notion of social networks and the learning we realize through them (through things like this blog) is very poorly understood and very underutilized. the wealth of comments and questions you pose are very good inspirations for further comments that will likely help a few in ways you cannot anticipate . . . bravo!

Thank You so much for your comments voltair. It truly makes me feel what i write is of importance. Today a man said you need all these pictures. But that is merely the shell. What i write here is from the heart. I imagine he never read my blogs. That is who i am really as a person. Sincerely. Jennie~~
