We learn about love from the second we are born. We are not always aware of the love around us, but it is always there – love without boundaries.
Some say that love is the energy that feeds us throughout life – it is food for our soul, and without it, we are doomed to die.
There have been many songs written about love. One of the interesting things about it is that most people learn to appreciate the love they took for granted when it is under threat or when it is tested.
On the flip-side, there is hatred and discrimination. For the last 8 years, I have been very active in the field of diversity education. I was sad to discover that there was a lot of discrimination and labeling, lots of bullying and bias towards others. And this was coming from children who simply cannot deal with others’ being different from them.
What makes this worse is that this happens among their parents too. Young children, from as young as 5 years old have discriminating beliefs towards others who are different in size, appearance, gender, language, height, weight, clothes, ability or disability, religion, likes or dislikes, character traits, skills, association, financial status, family status, relationships and the list goes on. So young and yet they already have so much hatred and fear.
