Let Love In

Why does it always have to be about sexual orientation, gender, color, race, creed, religion, politics? Why cant it for once be about the human person, the human heart? Why is it so difficult to find love within yourself for your fellow human being? There isn't enough love to go around as it is, so why shoot the ones who have it down? Why kick them when their high? Why hate? Why punish someone solely for their differences?

To anyone who has ever uttered a derogatory comment to a person different from yourself, ask yourself this , ask yourself, is it truly worth it? Ask yourself how you would feel if you were in their shoes? To be called names such as "nigger" if your African American, "spick" if your Mexican, "fag or dyke" if you're gay or lesbian, "dego" if your Italian, "dothead " if you're Hindu, "polock " if your Polish, and there are so many more I could name, but just by reading those, any person with any moral sense of humanity can see that they are wrong. NO one deserves to be called any of those names. NO ONE!

Ask yourself what makes anyone of a different religion or race, color , gender, or sexual oritentation different from anyone of us? Because if you truly look, if you truly open your eyes and see whats standing there right in front of you, you would see that no matter what, we are all the same, inside. We all have one heart that beats, one brain that keeps us alive. Some of us may be a different color, some of us may be missing an organ, or a hand or have another physical deformity, some us us practice different religions, or love those that are the same gender as we are. But inside, inside, we all have the same color blood, we all have one heart that keeps that blood flowing and one brain that keeps our bodies powered. Why? Because we are all human. Look inside the soul of someone you spent years hating upon, because you thought they were different, and maybe, just maybe you might make a new friend. How would you know the type of life a person leads if you dont give them a change to be a part of yours.

This isn't about being gay or lesbian. This isn't about being white, black, mexican or of any other decent. This isn't isnt about whether you believe in God or Allah, but its about love, its about tolerance, it's about respecting your fellow humans and learning to love one another as we are. We need to stop the hate, we need to stop killing each other for stupid reasons, we need to stop waging wars on other countries in the name of power, greed, or god and we just need to look inside one another and learn to love one another, because without love, we have nothing. You could have every thing in the world but without love, and it can be any kind of love, friendship, a pet, family, or a lover, but with out love, you are empty.

So to the people out there trying to ban gay marriage, to the people out there trying to use religion as their defense against it, to the people who are just downright racist, against others, to those that hate based on religion, open up your hearts, let that love in. Make friends with your gay neighbor, or your Muslim coworker, give somebody a chance. JUST SPREAD LOVE and maybe together we can abolish the hate!
