A Thought

I am the eye of decency, I can see the moral decency of humans 
whether they be Catholic, Protestant, Agnostic, Atheist, Muslim or
other. I see only humans, I do not care if they are right wing or left
wing. However, my vision is limited, I cannot see color, nor can I see
race.


I am the mind of humanity. I understand all people have a point of
view and an offering to the just cause of mankind.


I am the conscience of man... I cried when the Jews were segregated
and punished. I wept when the Irish and later Italians were treated like
their black brothers from Africa. I could not understand why men,
Christian men, thought Catholics were a threat. I was stunned at the
treatment of the native American Indians, of women in general, of the
short and over-weight on our society. I wondered, oh how I wondered
what does it take for man to truly become a family?


I amhuman. I must realize that within my mind is prejudice. To be
prejudiced is not evil, but to act upon it, to vent the prejudiceis..evil. 
I am working one day at a time not to judge my fellow man upon
his race, religion or upbringing.
