\&quot;Live life to it\&#039;s fullest.\&quot; <br /> \&quot;Life isn\&#039;t about waiting for the storm to pass, it\&#039;s about learning to dance in the rain.\&quot;

“That’s not right, that’s not right!” said the dark skinned man in a striving tone.
I try to treat everyone the same,
Equally
But I can almost hear my mind telling me things I’ve done that weren’t
Equal
One person is always treated differently
You could almost taste and smell all the prejudice in the air





Because of-






Skin







Clothes








How they act









Anything not “normal”
A big goal is to treat everyone
Equally
Everyone should at least try to, if not-
That’s not right.
