Part B

Sometimes I genuinely wonder if we've forgotten what it means to be human.

We've become so obsessed with race, religion, nationality, tribe, class, history and superiority that we've forgotten something very basic:

We're human beings before we're anything else.
I'm not saying history doesn't matter. It does.
I'm not saying cultures shouldn't be protected. They should.
I'm not saying differences don't matter. They do.
I'm asking why our differences so often become reasons to hate, discriminate, exploit or dehumanise one another.

The world is already full of enough problems.
There are cultures we haven't experienced, places we haven't seen, languages we haven't learned, people we haven't met and ideas we haven't discovered.

Why spend our limited time trying to prove that we're better than one another?

Maybe our differences were never meant to separate us.
Maybe they were meant to give humanity more to learn from.
I don't have the answer.

I'm genuinely asking:

Where exactly did we get it wrong?

Read the entire carousel before forming your opinion.
And if you disagree, that's okay.

Question the idea, not the person.
