Different but the same

You're different from me and I'm different from you; sometimes you're even different from that which you are at other times, and so am I. I like being different though, I embrace and encourage it within myself, because it's what makes me a more unique version of myself and through those differences in thought and attitude I can explore who I was and am, and who I could be, then make adjustments as required so I can proceed in my life...differently.

We're all the same too of course, you and I and everyone else on the planet, we're human, and we're all gathered together upon the Earth and therein lies opportunity in my opinion...the chance to embrace our differences, explore them, connect through them and journey through life somewhat more collectively; our differences shouldn't isolate us but draw us together...a one planet, one people paradigm I guess.

I was thinking about the difference between you and I earlier today...not you in particular, just me and everyone else, and how people perceive me. Unfavourably for sure, that's just human nature, but there's the opposite also. Some see my differences, and me in general, as something that adds value to them, their differences and life in general...and doesn't that mean those people and myself have become a little different within ourselves? I mean through the combination of two people's differences overlapping, influencing and effecting each other's lives. I think so.

Anyway, here's some pictures I took a little while back and I thought they supported my thoughts on the differences between the people on this planet and how those differences can combine into something quite beautiful.

If you'd like to comment below, I'd like to hear from you.

Comment about your own differences, what makes you you, how your differences blend and combine with other people in your life, how they meld together, or how they have kept you isolated. Feel free to comment on your thoughts about why some see other people and their differences negatively, or just comment on the photos or anything else you like - I always get back to those who comment.
