One Of A Kind

Each one of our unique lives change this world like ripples on a pond, our will flowing in all directions. Every person out there is infinitely different and all have tremendous value just for being alive on this planet. Each human life is important regardless of how much money we make, the shape of our body, the color of our skin, who we love, what country we were born in or how our brain works. In this world, where there is so much violence and hate, it can be hard to realize just how much each of us matter. 

We are not just billions of lives occurring separately with no effect each other, we are an interconnected global community.
Human society unfortunately, is quite good at dividing and devaluing people—making someone an outsider. It is natural to group together but learned to push away. To better understand compassion for others it is important to look to oneself and be conscious of the remarkable feat that is life. 


Our bodies are made up of billions of cells all working together for the sole purpose of keeping us alive. Every thought, every movement, every interaction requires an astounding amount of coordination carried out entirely by electrical impulses. Each one of our minds are universes unto themselves, capable of incredible things. When we meet another person we are looking into the eyes of another amazing, feeling, thinking being.

Not only can we witness others lives but we can impact them, we have power to make someone else's existence better. A smile, a kind word or a moment of understanding can be all it takes to make a difference. If you can do more for others, do more. If you can love more, love more. Do all we can a for as long as we can. We all get this one life, this single one of a kind chance to exist, let's make the best of it.
