I am continually saddened by the hate, discrimination, and judgment in the world today. While I do not see my see myself a religious person, despite labeling myself as Jewish, I was reminded of a pray by Rabbi Kushner entitled Prayer for the World an excerpt which reads:
"Let the rain come and wash away the ancient grudges, the bitter hatreds held and nurtured over generations…So that we can see beyond labels, beyond accents, gender or skin color. Let the warmth and brightness of the sun melt our selfishness, So that we can share the joys and feel the sorrow of our neighbors. And let the light of the sun be so strong that we will see all people as our neighbors.”
I felt empower by the project to do just that, see beyond labels. I want to live in a world where labels, judgment, and discrimination are forgotten, and everyone just tries to be good people.
