The Choice Is Yours

I am a human being…just like you… You needn’t know my name. and though we are all a little different…we are all humans just the same. Speaking not just for myself but for the human species…if I may none of us choose to be humans…we are born this way. None of us can change that fact…it is how we were created. In fact…the fact we are all humans should be cherished and celebrated. I did not choose to me a man or a woman… the color of my skin…if I was straight or trans or gay… It is part of the human being I am…I was born this way. But when you hate me for who I am… when you call me names… when you say I’m a mistake… however you come to this decision…this is a choice you choose to make. When you ignore or prohibit my existence… when you don’t see me…for me… when you intentionally hurt me or any other human being… you hurt all humanity… So here’s a gentle reminder… if hate is controlling your inner voice…. this is truly your mistake… because love is also a choice you can choose to make

Fact! It is the only super power we have. One choice by one human can affect every other human. We spend all of our adult life walking the path we choose.Nice one, Jim.
