Re: Re: Re: RPresta,
I'm having keyboard and computer issues. Should read '..simple my friends, not formost in my mind do I think of them as primarily...'

Re: Re: RPresta,
Perhaps I wasn't clear. I meant to care enough about each other so it is possible to do as you suggest without bias. I have friends who are simply my friends, not n my mind primarily Hispanic, Native, Asian, Black, purple, green or whatever, though they may be that. Their qualities are still brought to the table, as well as their uniqueness. I agree with you.

Re: RPresta,
I think this is part of the transformation that is needed, but we also need to where we can appreciate the differences, the special attributes everyone brings to the whole of what humanity can be: to see and celebrate, not merely tolerate.

I would like to see humankind reach the level where we finally transcend color/race, if that makes sense. We need to get beyond the focus of color, and focus on the internal being inhabiting the body; see a person, not a person of color or lack of color. But we havent reached that stage of evolution yet, imho.

It's the grown-up souls that help the careless and unthinking get things figured out!

Re: CCT,
I consider that the human race is in its adolescence. and it always seems a wonder that anyone survives that stage... and yet, many of us have.

Re: Kabu,
Seems to me that being aware and grateful makes all the difference.

What interesting creatures are human beings. I have always been thankful to be one of those even though some of them have such harmful qualities.

Yes just think if we were not the first to develop on this planet. If a civilization had preceded us it probably would have dominated humans from the word go. We might indeed be in a different situation altogether. It seems to me that we have been here for too short a time to adjust or even be rational.

well of course deep within each of us we want to enjoy a wonderful life. We may not need to be of great wealth or have huge power but we don't want to be the poorest with no hope either.
Skin color means nothing to me; I just decided one day when I was about 20. It is now me, a core belief...but I would be less than truthful if I did not admit that being born and living in the New World has been a priveledge that I have thanked God for all my life.
