Differences~

in #philosophy7 years ago

Mary said, "Lolly, I love you, even if you have no tail."

 

When I was young, there was no concept of other people being different in me.  I could see the obvious like being tall or brunette etc. But I was laboring under the idea that everyone has the same operating system. Humans all alike inside like cats are all cats inside. 

Took some time but I did learn that people have various levels of experience and that means differing viewpoints and all that type of function goes on unseen.  Making it difficult indeed to know what other folks have done and are going through.

To someone born with OCD, thinking the way they do is normal for them and until it becomes obvious through much experience that other people do not labor under those conditions it is assumed all think that way.

Humans are fragile creatures~ Be gentle to yourself and others.💜
