Embrace the difference / 擁抱差異




網路上時時會傳出一些關於南北,立場,性別話題等等爭辯,或針對一些族群所做出的一些充滿誤解的偏激言論。就像「大家來找碴」遊戲一樣,人們十分的善於分類。這樣的本能一方面能幫助我們認識這個世界,一方面卻又造成一些因為「不一樣」而產生的小摩擦。

在台灣雖然有南北之分,但我們都是台灣人。不管是來自哪個地區,國家,人種,文化,我們都是人類,是生物,是地球的一份子。當我們把「類別」從細分慢慢的往大方向打開後,我們會發現,大家都一樣,沒有誰比較優秀,也沒有誰應該受到不平的對待。

就像音樂也需要不同的音色,才能組成一首好的歌曲,保持著開闊和包容的心胸,享受這一切的不同,就能活出美好精采的人生。

From times to times via the internet, we see arguments or disrespectful stereotyping about certain groups, regarding where they live, what they believe, or even what they love as a hobby.Just like the game "spot the difference", humans are good at identifying the difference and categorizing. This instinct helps us to get a good understanding of the world while at the same time creates friction between people when we concerntrate too much on the "difference".

No matter where we live in, where we came from, what race, what culture... we are all members of the family Earth.When we pull away from our magnifying glass, we'll find that everyone is in the same big categery. No one is better or less worthy, and no one should tolerate from any discrimination.

Just like how the music needs different notes to create a beautiful melody, when we open our heart, embrace and celebrate the difference, then we can truely live a joyful life
