The Next Step Up

Some things in life cannot be justified. They simply are.

And the funny thing about that is these are often some very important things in the grand scheme of things.

And the other funny thing about that is they are different for everyone. Almost no one has the exact same basic secondary wants and needs.

We all need food, shelter, attention of some sort, but where that attention comes from, what form it takes, how it manifests when I manipulate it, that can be worlds apart in people who even live in the same house, let alone cities, or states apart.

It is possible to honor each others' differences and I think our ability to do that defines us.

In fact, that may be the single biggest challenge in today's world. Learning to accept and value people who are different requires a level of tolerance and desire for understanding that allows for a step up in the evolutionary scale.

Are you ready for that?
