Respecting Differences Poem by Sandra Feldman

Respecting Differences

Rating: 5.0


What does it mean to be free?
'That I don't have to think like you
Or you like me'
We can still be friends,
Get along in harmony,
Show mutual respect,
Even if we think, differently.

Minds have to be open,
In order to be free,
So please if you want,
True openness to progress,
Don't make yourself 'more'
While those that are different,
'Less'
Only Tolerance makes us progress,
Love more and hate less.

'True openness to progress, Don't make yourself 'more' While those that are different, 'Less' Only Tolerance makes us progress, Love more and hate less.' loved the concept of making self more at the expense of others less, then the wisdom of tolerance for progress, the imperative of more love leass hate; a beautiful wisdom write
