Hop off Your High Horse

We are all human. Whether our skin pigmentation is darker or lighter, we all function the same. Breathe air in, let it out. Yet, some people believe that they have a higher status on the scale of life. But why? When everything is gone, we are all the same. As people are born and go through life, they all grow the same. We all breathe the same air. We all have a heart that beats; a brain that thinks, a pair of eyes that blink.

Putting yourself on a pedestal and stepping on the people you believe are below you isn't going to help you in the long run.by thinking so high of yourself, you put other people down. Can we imagine a world of only people who think too highly of themselves? Friendships wouldn't exist, because no one would admit their own faults. Relationships would never work, because nobody would want to give a little to receive love in return. The world would be a big places with smiling faces, deeply staring into the mirror held a few inches from their faces.

Never admitting to being wrong isn't going to change the fact that you are probably wrong. Everyone strives to be correct and full of knowledge. But the fact is; someone out there will always be bigger than you. Better than you. Smarter than you. When we learn to accept our faults, friendships can grow stronger and relationship can illuminate. If someone can prove a point, accept it. You learned something that day. Knowledge to improve yourself.

 Everyone has things they love about themselves, and that's healthy and good. But do you really love yourself so much, that we are better than the person sitting next to us? What makes me better than that girl who is to shy to say hello? I could say because I'm not afraid to say hey, but what if she loves that she gets to pick who she wants to speak too and people just assume she is shy? Something we hold high and cherish about ourselves, may be something that someone else looks down on. It is a wonderful thing to be comfortable with who you are, and to know that you are a beautiful creation from the Lords hands. But why make someone else think they are not, just because they differ from you?

Everyone has pet peeves also, things that just set you off. But don't let someone else's annoying habits make you forget they are human. They are made and born the same way as you were.
