This I believe


I believe one day everyone will accept any kind of differences

People who believed the world was round got killed in the old days. People thought the ones who believed that flying is possible crazy. Nowadays, people treat others differently when they are “different”
I wish all of the people in the world to now realize that there are some things that seem impossible can be possible. And do not think it weird for people to have differences.
In this rapidly developing world, more and more people accept differences; differences in culture, country, looks and beliefs. So this I believe, that one day soon the whole world will accept differences.

Even this site, “This I believe” is using the Internet to give people the chance to talk about their different thoughts and ideas. The Internet is a program where many people can publish their thoughts into it. This program gives us chance to connect to different people with different beliefs. The phone also gives us chance to speak to each other and share ideas. But, even with these supreme chances, why are racism, sexual unevenness, KKK and bullying?


I am or once a Christian, but it came shocking for me is when the priest told me to only believe in god or you will go to hell. I saw many Christians when I was young, looking down on other religions and fighting with them. And when I watched a documentaries, there were holy crusades and fights for land. If there is a god, will god like about what is happening? People killing lives he made, didn’t he say to love each other?
One day, I heard someone saying “there are some crazy people that believe in some weird religion, those guys are psychos" he was saying that the religion isn’t real. But, nobody even knows if god really exists too. Why only Christians or a big religious group be accepted? It is not fair for others when people criticize you about their belief. Won’t it hurt when somebody teases you what you believe in about your future? I wish and believe that one day everyone will come together in piece where all beliefs and religions can be accepted.

The Earth is really incredible. There is infinite number of living organisms that are all different. It is amazing every time I think about it, the fact that I am the only existing being that is “me” That is why I always love myself and think I am a really special person; differences make everything special. That is why I love to play sports or play music, where many different style and unique people get to be more outstanding, where difference can be accepted. When the time comes where everyone accepts differences, the world will be much more special. Because I believe that it is each individual with a different something that makes the world special.

I chose the picture above because it shows difference between people, regarding boy or girl, black or white. Where everybody is 1 face and difference are accepted.
