One is a member...

We often seek to define ourselves by identifying that which separates us and makes us unique. However, I do question if it would perhaps be wiser and better to invest our faculties in pursuit of that which unites us. Lines in the sand are not drawn necessary to keep people out, but rather to keep them in… and even then it is subjected to being erased by waves. A membership to a particular club may seem exclusive, but one is always a member of something greater. It is always convenient to be homogeneous, but the challenge lies in finding ourselves within a heterogeneous group. Who knows, at the end of the tunnel we may just come to the realization that we are more alike than we think... that should not be something that scares us, but instead comfort us for we are not alone. We are connected through our common humanity.
