It Only Takes A Girl To Bring The World A Happy New Year.

There are boys and there are girls..., men and boys; all fellow humans, born of a common mother who walk the same path.  We need each other like the forest needs the rain.  But the truth of the matter is that we won't accept each other, men and women, boys and girls..., as equals.  We don't allow ourselves to be taught that while we are so obviously different in a great many ways, we are also equal in a great many other ways as well.

As the population of our world closes in on a saturation point, we find that we are having to live closer and closer to each other.  National borders are being opened up to newcomers as the lands they leave behind become over populated, or the natural resources they once depended on are becoming scarce.  One of the oldest 'sayings' that we remember from those occasions when we sat by our mothers, listening to the wisdom of our ancestors is..."Familiarity breeds contempt." After more than 65 years of witnessing the evidence of this, and other sayings from antiquity, I do concur that familiarity "can" breed contempt, but only if it is accompanied by a lack of understanding, a lack of compassion and a lack of love.

If we are going to survive our own ineptitude; if we are to preserve the only planet we have on which to live, we must make a beginning.  The easiest place to begin our voyage of discovery just might be in our own heart.
