Everyone’s different but yet we’re the same

Everyone’s different in their own way, in what they do, in what they say. Everyone has their own point of view. Everyone’s different, even me and you. Although no one sees eye to eye. Everyone can get along if they just try. If everyone would try to live in peace then friends we would be and wars would cease.

Oh, how great and wonderful life would be if those concepts could easily be applied and practiced by all human beings.

We are all different from one another. We have different appearances, thoughts, expressions, physical and mental capabilities and emotions. Everyone has different concepts, perceptions and beliefs that are true and unique to ourselves. This uniqueness makes us individuals.

As individuals from conception to death, we continue to gain knowledge. I believe we are all born with a soul. Our soul is our moral compass, our conscience giving us the ability to know the difference between good and evil.

Did you ever have a bad feeling (gut feeling) about something you were about to do? The feeling was uneasy and made you hesitate before doing what you were planning on doing. Did you maybe think you heard a soft voice tell you not to do it? It was your conscience, your soul trying to lead you to the good not evil act.

We have been created with freewill, the ability to choose our actions. Our actions for good or evil always in some way have consequences. Good actions, deeds or choices help us feel good about ourselves and increase our self-worth. Bad actions, deeds or choices can tear us apart inside, cause us anger, confusion and pain.

Everyone is different in how they choose to believe as to what is good and evil. In today’s world, in many places and facets, evil is being taught as good and good is evil. In God’s world, good is good and evil is evil; there is no gray area to be found.

Everyone cannot all get along because of our individuality and uniqueness. Those who have chosen good actions will not get along with those choosing evil actions. There will always be a battle of good versus evil.

Still, even though everyone is different, we are all still human beings. We all still have a soul and some level of knowledge and faith. As human beings, we all need oxygen to breathe and food to sustain our bodies. Our soul needs nourishment to fight against evil. God’s word is that nourishment.

Yes, everyone is different, but yet we are all still the same. We are all human beings and need love, respect and kindness. Those who have chosen evil as the guiding power for their lives make life difficult and sometimes unbearable for those who have chosen goodness.

I have chosen the path of good. I need to help and be of service for good not evil to my fellow human beings. Your journey and choices in life can be changed. What path have you chosen, good or evil? Let’s journey together for good down life’s challenging road to friendship and peace.

Bless you.
