That Silver Lining

The 'THEM' factor

Hello Everyone
I hope you benefit from this chapter
Don't forget to tell me what you think🙂🙂

I know almost everyone is guilty of this
Have you ever seen a person and you instantly judge them?
Ever judged someone by their appearance, dressing, speech, accent,  style, preferences, sexuality, religion, beliefs, opinions, ideas, intricacies, likes, dislikes, disorders, health status, wealth, position, any other thing??
Have you ever had a first impression about someone but turned out to be wrong?
Well, 99% of the time our assumptions are wrong

Every person is unique in their own way
They have their own YOU factor just like you have yours
They have what makes them special too
Most of the time, we just take one look at people and get these assumptions of who they are..
Or rather, who we think they are

It's wrong
Totally wrong
Let's stop taking people at face value!
If you want to get to know them,  do so
And if you don't want to get to know them, then don't
It's as simple as that
But don't go around jumping to conclusions because you can never know what makes a person tick
The same way you should recognize the greatness in you is the same way you should try for others

There's no use trying to create a better world if we take everyone at face value
Then no one is real
Have eyes that see the good in people before the bad
A heart that recognizes the fact that everyone is special and amazing
A soul that yearns to link with great souls
Not one that taints others
Make an impact
Add not subtract
If you aren't gonna make them better, then don't bring them down

Remember that whatever your thoughts are about people is a direct reflection of who you are and proportional to your personality
If you see the best in people, it gives you a certain happiness that you can't get from being bitter
Learn the act of acceptance
It's Key

Just because someone is white when you're black, or tall when you're short, Jewish while you're a Buddhist or Asexual while you're Hetero doesn't make you a better person
It just makes you a YOU person and makes them a THEM person
Learn to appreciate and accept that
Learn to create links and bonds that are useful

It's said that 'A tree can't make a forest'
You can't be alone in the world and  you shouldn't keep seeing the bad side of people
It's important to know people that can be bad for you
But just stay away instead of criticizing them all the time
They may be bad for you but totally what someone else needs to grow
Or they might even be struggling with something you have no idea about
They might be trying to be better
So see that and respect it

Your idea of bad might not be the same as theirs
What you see as tainted might seem pure to them
You might be right and they might be wrong
Or you could be totally wrong
Our ideals, beliefs, and core values will always be different
How we see things would never be same
The way things affect us would forever differ
But it doesn't make us less human
It just makes us who we are

Why not see a black person while you're white and say 'I love your hair' without minding the skin colour?
Why not see a short person and say 'Your eyes are cute' without picking on the height?
Why not see a Muslim and say 'I love your headscarf' without thinking of the difference in belief?
Why not accept 'DIFFERENT'?

Different isn't bad
Different is good sometimes
Imagine the world were a canvas, and everyone chose the same colour of paint, then the world would be bland
We were created to be diverse and unique
That's who were are meant to be

Start today
Say 'Good morning' first with a smile, Don't wait for it, it wouldn't hurt you.
And you just might never know if that's the only good thing to happen to  someone that day
Be nice
Don't hold grudges
They're toxic to the soul
They are like stones attached to the wings
They pull you back without allowing you to soar high
Let your light shine so bright it illuminates the world of others
Make their world a little brighter.
And yours won't get dim
Help others
Pull them up
You just might never know when your turn for help will come

If we really want to make the world a better place
Let's play our part,
Let's get our bearings,
Erase Toxicity in our lives,
Start our healing,
Learn the sole accept of ACCEPTANCE
Get our 'YOU' factor right
And accept the 'THEM' factor
It'll go a long way

So no matter the differences
Starting now
I accept each and everyone of you
I love you already 🖤🖤
Thanks for being you in your own unique way❣
With love💕💕
