The world is made up of many different kinds of people of various races, creeds, colors, nationalities, gender orientations, socio-economic and educational backgrounds, and other variables that contribute to the uniqueness of the individual. In a garden composed of many different kinds of plants and flowers, no one flower is better than another and no shrub thinks itself less perfect than its neighbor. Each has its being, its essence, and knows it is growing in the illusion of space and time in which it finds itself. It accepts itself for what it is and each draws in the nurturing warmth of the sun. So, too, we each need to accept ourselves and strive to be the best we can be in our patch of garden under the nurturing sun. Then, in turn, we need to accept others for who they are, without judgment, but equally in love and peace, like the flowers in the garden. Namaste!
