I'm talking about breaking this barrier that separates us. That barrier is with-in our selves. How when you see someone the first thing we do is make up in our own minds who this person is. Is he/she SMART OR DUMB, GOOD-LOOKING OR UGLY, RICH OR POOR, CLASSY OR UNSOPHISTICATED , GOOD WORK ETHIC OR LAZY, GOOD OR BAD. Ask yourself why? Why do we do this? Love or Acceptance doesn't teach us these behaviors. So what does? Society does; we are trained from the day we are born to pull out and define the differences in people or "imperfections" but what is love? Is love finding someone that we can "tolerate"? no. Love is finding someone that we have common interests with, finding someone that we are able to put a side our differences and Accept. Being able to hold another human, another person, another individual and listen to every breath they take feel the pulse of every heart beat and find the similarities between yourselves. Find the essence that we all have deep with-in us and joining those to create and amazing and unbreakable bond. That is Love, so I ask you now why are we limiting ourselves? Why do we not love every person and realize that every single person American or not, White or not, SMART, HANDSOME, RICH, CLASSY, LAZY or not breathes and has a heart beat. Realize that everyone came into this world the same way and is only who they seem to be because we labeled them to be that. I was born CAMERON ASHBY I learned to be CAMERON ASHBY. I thought for the longest time that I was suppose to be good at things, to be better at sports and school and be active in my religion. But actually life isn't about becoming and forming ourselves into what we "should be" but rather find who we are already. Find our connection with everyone and our connection with this planet that we live on. We decide our fates and how we live our lives. "When the power of love over comes the love of power, then the world with know peace" ~ Jimi Hendrix
