Every now and then I come across people who discriminate against others for:-
Believing in a different religion than their own
Having a different zexual orientation
Not having the same skin colour
Having their own opinion
Not having an opinion
Having too many children
Not having any children
Being single
Being married
Having been divorced
Too young
Too old
Too pretty
Too simple
Too fat
Too skinny
Too Smelly
Too smart
Zero intelligence
Too fair
Too dark
Too short
Too tall
Being too decisive
Not being decisive
Being assertive
Being too easy going
Being frigit
Is hot-stuff
Too assertive
Too gullable
Too tough
Too fragile
Why, oh why can't we all just accept others for who they are below their skin?
Next time you catch yourself judging or criticising someone, try and look into their heart before you make any comment.
Namaste
I shall be coming back to this now and then to add on from my observations

A Sweet friend of mine send this to me. I like it so much that I want to share it here with you my friends.
A saint asked his disciples, 'Why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?'
Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, 'Because we lose our calm, we shout for that.'
'But, why to shout when the other person is just next to you?' asked the saint. 'Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice? Why do you shout at a person when you're angry?'
Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the saint.
Finally he explained, 'When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other through that great distance.'
Then the saint asked, 'What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly, why? Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is very small...'
The saint continued, 'When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.'
MORAL: When you argue do not let your hearts get distant, do not say words that distance each other
