Hello all!! This continues our series titled "From the Halls of Kentucky". These are blogs written by some of my youth here in Florence, KY. I have some very talented writers in my group and feel that they should be featured every now and then. This one today is a wonderful piece written by a young woman named Sterling. It deals directly with the idea of equality and I love her frankness and insight. Enjoy!
EQUALITY
“After the game,the king and the pawn go into the same box...”
This has to be one of my favorite quotes. I don’t know if it has any other meaning to you or anyone else but to me its saying we should all should be treated with the same kindness and equality because believe it or not we have a lot in common... we all have the good times and the bad times with our family and friends. We’ve all felt as if we were on top of the world, and we have all felt as if we were in the pit of it. We all have reasons for living, and we all go through the happiness and joys, and the troubles and hectic situations that life brings to our front door. We laugh, we cry, we all experience feelings of jealousy, dislike, happiness and excitement. Yet, I've seen that not all of us are treated equality, some are shunned because of the clothes they wear or the people they hang out with, or how much money that their family has in the bank, people are even thought of as lower because of their likes and dislikes, if people believe something is different or strange they quickly try to get away from it or shun it because they don’t like it, or are even be scared of it. Unfortunately, this problem is not just towards the younger people, older people have this problem as well.
IT NEEDS TO STOP! People should embrace the differences between each other, because in the end I think we will all learn and get something out of it.
