From my balcony, I watch children play; their color blindness encourages me. They do not let skin shades stand in their way; playing games together for all to see. I hear laughter with no sarcastic sting; there are no racial slurs aimed to degrade. As I observe these fledgling birds take wing, my worries for our future slowly fade. A culturally closed society is like a wound in need of a suture. It bleeds out with hate and anxiety, and yet, these children can change that future. Watching these kids play, I don't feel sorrow; I feel hope for a better tomorrow.

Congratulations Emile, a well deserved first place win. If all people saw the world through children’s eyes and were colour blind, the planet would be much safer and kind. Belle

Sure to top the winners list, dear Emile. Hate is not innate in humans...it is taught.

Thanks Elaine, I agree hate is taught, in fact it's taught so well it becomes a tradition, Emile.

I see the majority of people this way. If we start talking of peace and love in all communities perhaps we can have a better life as the human race.
