We must realize how strong we are and how much we have in common as people. The love and strength I've witnessed across cultures, religions, nationalities and ages is a priceless boost to one's sense of humanity. We live in a world of constant misconceptions, assumptions, and inflated fears. It only takes sitting in the presence of an 80 year old proud grandparent or looking into a child's big eyes as she is gently rocked in a makeshift cradle. I've had over one hundred cups of tea with people who spoke little to no English, we were each other's company despite the presence of vast difference.
