The Invisible Man
Posted by The Truth | Filed under Uncategorized
Why is it that we always have to put someone into a classification? Be it race, ideology, outward appearance, etc., there is always a chance for presumption that never really makes sense. Funny thing is that when we prejudge, we always miss the true meaning of something.
Some may dress a certain way in public or talk differently, but does that give anyone the right to ignore them or cast aspersions? When you looked over at the man at the Exxon station after he called you by name and said hi, why do you quickly gather your things and turn away out of the door? What is ironic is that only a few days later you see this man in a suit and want to have him in your corner and listen to your entire message.
The time for how we automatically make these assumptions has to end. If we are to make for a better future for all, we need to do it together. All of our differences can ultimately enhance the message. Conservative, Liberal, Black, White, high tax bracket, low tax bracket combined makes for a stronger word. Let’s not only listen, but also embrace all that we together can offer. You never know what power can be presented when we take the time to listen rather than shun because of preconceived notions and THAT’S THE DOUBLE TRUTH RUTH!

Watch this clip and you will see how we can miss the beauty of something when we prejudge. It’s quite long but a message you are sure to feel.
