As children, we do not have a choice about whom we grow up around and what influences we are exposed to. Around the globe, personal experiences related to other races and cultures are not only varied but are also vastly different. We can look upon our differences as dividing factors, or we can listen, learn, and begin to appreciate and acknowledge both the beauty and the pain that comes from them. While moving from point A to Z is not a simple feat, perhaps we can start by recognizing one thing we all have in common: we have yet to experience sustained harmony among all people groups.
