Have you guys noticed this...

[RyanLeeParis]

In our world, no two people are born exactly alike. There's always a distinction/difference between two people.

However, this variation, sometimes winds up dividing people (race/religion/class, etc), which I think is sad.

If people did not have distinctions (in appearence or otherwise), things would get boring very quickly. Variety makes our world interesting, and different.

Stare at a wall... literally go stare at a wall... you'll be begging to look at any other object too. It's the same with people. Peope should look different, so the world isn't boring.

Do you agree? Disagree? Anyone?

It's not just race, religion, and class that divide people. It can also be everything from weight to hair colour. People in general are just cruel for the most part and point out peoples differences.

That's a great point RyanLeeParis. So true. Your eyes do tend to wander if required to stare at a blank wall. Praise God that He made us all so different!

That's life.

I think it's unfortunate when people mistake differences that add spice and variety (ethnicity, height, hair/eye color, etc.) for differences that are either unhealthy or inherently harmful (religion, weight).

While it is certainly admirable to praise certain differences, it doesn't make sense for overweight people to say "I love being overweight. This is how I'm meant to be!"

That's how I'm thinking now days... when I feel a tendency to judge people's looks, I just quickly think "what if we all looked the same?" It makes me quickly appreciate differences in our world.

I'm pretty certain that about 95% or more of the people who are overweight don't want to be. It can be a huge psychological struggle for them and people who add extra tension because of it can also add to things like depression.

It's tearing people down for things that are sometimes difficult to control.

Yes I agree, being a non-Christian is inherently harmful. Is it more hateful comming from me then it is from you?

As far as being overweight, I don't think most people want to be overweight, however they have difficulty controling it. I don't think I've ever heard someone say that they "love being overweight."
