You have hit one of my 'hot buttons' ... I could sit here and write a book about that 'hope' - where it has to come from and where it could take us. But I won't. What I will say is that it starts with us, as parents. It starts at home with the example we set for our kids, from the very earliest age. It starts with what we say, and what we do and how real and true we are to the things we say we believe in. The very earliest learning our children attain is from us, and it forms and shapes these little people for the rest of their lives. How wonderful would it be if every little mind out there was formed and shaped in a nurturing womb of love, kindness and understanding that included everybody? Everybody. Period. Yes, there is hope.

It is so very true. Thank you for such a wonderful post and message. “There is hope that one day the difference and diversity in our world will be accepted and understood, that all will be free from discrimination and judgement, that all will be equal…”

I love Martin Luther King and what he represents. MLK and JFK were both very inspireing people. May we just simply realize that we are all different from each other.
