RE: Shabbat Shalom! A Friday's Love Dedication To Cultural Diversity 💙
Diversity is one of the things I love about you most. I grew up with diversity so I really know no other way than to be accepting of other cultures. Besides... the way I grew up, if we went to someone else's house and were rude we got our butt beat! It gave me a lesson in tolerance, acceptance, and diplomacy. One rule I live by... try it at least once (within reason); if you don't like it you don't have to do it again.
As for religion... I'm an open book. One might say I've never been uncomfortable visiting anyone's house of worship. And for nearly 10 years I was invited to sing for the High Holy Days (Rosh Hoshannah, Yom Kippur and Kol Nidre) at a local temple. It was a moving experience every year.
Ha, I also got some slaps from time to time! Today there is this common believe that kids can't be touched. I'm not sure if this is a good idea. There was nothing wrong with our "more physical" education back then... I mean: look at us :-)
This. But you know what: it's an educational issue - like you mentioned. If kids are not shown how to embrace the unknown, they won't ever do it... Open-mindedness is a value that needs to be taught!
I love your attitude! Sometimes the things we're most sceptical about turn out to be extremely interesting and contributive in the end.
Viva the open-mindedness! :-)
